Environmental Controls and Humidity
The following sections refer to both the Blazer PRO and EXPRESS
Your printer should not be exposed to direct sunlight, direct airow, dusty areas, strong magnetic forces
or excessively high humidity. The machine does not like to be too dry or too moist with a level of 40%
to 60% relative humidity being ideal. Since you will be handling wet ink to rell the Bulk System ink
bottles, you should also protect any carpet or oor covering with mats.
Like any Hi-Tech electronic device, your inkjet printer does NOT like being in a hot or cold shop or
a garage without proper air-conditioning controls. If left unattended for days or weeks in a hot dry
environment, the Print Head WILL clog. Consult Chapter 10 for instructions on installing rellable
cleaning cartridges if you anticipate not using your machine for an extended period.
For convenience and efciency, place your printer close to the Heat Press or Dryer you will be using to
cure the ink. If you have two or three printers set up as a production work station, arrange them around or
near the heat source.
At night, and when the printer is not in use, cover the machine to protect it
from airborne dust and debris.
