Summer is officially here. This is easy for me to remember because we celebrate our twins birthday on Summer equinox. With summer come warmer temperatures, which I really felt yesterday for the first time this year. Like any other liquid, ink becomes more fluid and tends to expand in the heat. The combination of heat and ink cartridges can potentially mean disaster for the interior of your car. So we just want to remind you to not leave your ink cartridges, full or empty, for an extended period in your car on these hot summer days. Plan ahead of time, or take them with you as you are running errands. Toner and high temperatures are not a good combination as well. Toner particles will begin to fuse together at around 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. This will cause streaks in your prints and diminished cartridge life. So you will also want to quickly move your toner cartridges from your vehicle to room temperature for storage. We pack our toner cartridges in foil bags to protect the photosensitive drums from harmful light. So once toner cartridges are put on your shelf and the temperature is maintained, they can safely be stored for many years. Our refilled ink cartridges can be stored safely for at least 6 months. However, we have tested several cartridges that have been stored for a year and a half and more. So remember these tips and your summer will be that much more enjoyable!
Do you have any comments or direct-experiences with this? We would love to hear them.
