AnaJet is proud of its commitment to the environment. We use only safe
water-based inks and treatments. MSDS’s are available on AnaJet’s
website.
Ricoh Authorized Inks
AnaJet Ricoh _ Ri 1000- Operator Training 7

White ink
•All white ink has titanium dioxide, over time if white
ink is left sitting the titanium dioxide will separate
from the water, causing the ink the settle or
separate apart.
•Its required to remove your white ink cartridges
daily and shake them around, this will mix any
separation that might have happened over night.
The printer will prompt you to gently agitate the
white ink cartridges every 12hrs
•If white ink is kept in stock, rotate cartridges 2-3
times a week.
•White ink has a shelf life of 6 months. CMYK shelf
life 1 year. Each cartridge is labeled with a
manufacturer date.

What happens when you don’t change an
empty cartridge?
NOZZLES CLOG AND STOPS FIRING.
THIS IN RETURN WILL GIVE YOU
BANDING IN YOUR PRINT.
CONTAMINATION - IF A WHITE INK
CARTRIDGE IS LEFT EMPTY, IT WILL
CREATE BACK PRESSURE AND PULL
INK FROM THE MAINTENANCE
STATION THROUGH THE HEAD AND
INTO THE WHITE TUBES. WHEN
THIS HAPPENS YOU WILL START TO
SEE YOUR WHITE TUBES GRAY OR
YELLOW.
AIR CAN ENTER INTO THE TUBES -
AIR IN THE TUBES WILL START TO
DRY THE INK , RISKING CLOGGING
THE HEAD.
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO PRINT
HEAD - IF A CARTRIDGE IS LEFT
EMPTY FOR TOO LONG IN THE
PRINTER YOU RISK CLOGGING THE
HEAD PERMANENTLY REQUIRING A
REPLACEMENT.

•Substrate: 100% cotton will yield the best results. Other
similar natural fibers like hemp and bamboo can be used.
•Light Polyester, rayon and spandex- Light synthetic fibers can
be printed on up to 50%. Printing on 100% polyester can
results in bleeding , and dull / faded colors. To resolve this, use
light shirt pretreatment to achieve best results.
•Dark Polyester - Polyester and white ink do not like each
other, adding heat and pressure from the heat press will dull
the white ink.
•50% polyester / 50% cotton mixture –can be printed with
acceptable results, in some cases it may be required to
use more white ink and saturate the garment with more
pretreatment.
•100% dark polyester can NOT be printed.
What types of fabrics can I print on?
