Color Match Statement

The Nazdar 290 Series inks have been designed to be as close a color match as possible to the OEM inks while still adhering to the most recent regulatory standards and giving better overall adhesion performance. The ink set is considered "plug-and-play" in a sense that they can be installed directly behind the OEM inks without the need to flush. Please review the following three scenarios to determine which installation method is best for your printer:

• Plug & Play - Inks can be replaced one color at a time as the OEM inks become empty. This method is best for print facilities that print pleasing color and do not have a great deal of repeat jobs. Depending on the sequence in which the colors are replaced, you may see slight shifts in some colors until all the Nazdar inks are installed; at which time the prints will be a very close match to the original inks.
• Plug & Prime - All the colors can be replaced at the same time. If your work has no tolerance for slight shifts as the new ink is installed, it is best to install all of the colors at once and prime the printer with a bit of ink (purge through 200ml). The final set will be a very close match to the OEM ink set.

• Plug & Profile - All the colors are replaced with a re-profiling of the printer. If your facility has multiple devices that are all profiled to match a specific target (a proof for example), it is best to install all the colors, prime the printer, and re-profile to your specific target.

Ink Handling

All personnel mixing and handling this product must wear gloves and eye protection. Clean up all spills immediately. If ink does come in contact with skin, wipe ink off with a clean, dry cloth (do not use solvent or flush solution). Wash the affected area with soap and water. Consult the Nazdar 290 Series Safety Data Sheet for further instructions and warnings.

Curing Parameters

Nazdar 290 Series Ink has been formulated to cure with the standard OEM lamps found on the Océ® Arizona® equipment.

Ink Changeover

Nazdar 290 Series inks are designed to be a direct replacement of the OEM ink and can be installed directly behind an ink bag that has become empty. Install 290 the same way that you would normally add a fresh bag of ink, paying attention to the placement of the RFID sticker. RFID placement instructions are included in the ink package.

Clean Up

For clean-up of ink spills and equipment use LWU7001FF UV Maintenance Solution.

Storage/Shelf Life

Store ink and flush solutions at 18° - 27° C (65° - 80° F). Ink and flush solutions should always be kept away from heat, sparks, and flames. If stored at a different temperature, the ink should be allowed to reach room temperature before printing. The shelf life of this product is 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored under prescribed conditions.

Ink Performance

Outdoor Durability

When Nazdar 290 Series Ink is used with the proper color management; color variance is estimated to be minimal over a period of 24 months vertical outdoor exposure. Our data is based on actual outdoor weather testing in the central U.S. on statically mounted substrates. Results for regions with extreme weather conditions or applications other than static signage may vary significantly and should be tested by the end user.
