Storing CIJ ink in hot environments? Here’s how to prevent fluid degradation and clogging in high-temperature sites.

If your codes won’t dry and keep smudging, start with these quick fixes before changing ink.

✅ 5 fast fixes

1. Lower line speed
    More time = better drying

2. Check solvent type
    Acetone > Ethanol > MEK (fastest to slowest)

3. Reduce humidity near print zone
    Install dehumidifiers or redirect airflow

4. Use high-adhesion ink
    Especially for plastics and glossy films

5. Check ink expiry
    Old fluid = slow drying and poor adhesion

Bonus tip

Drying too fast? You may get overspray. Always balance speed and control.
