Ink Types: 

Dusty Robotics offers water-based and solvent-based inks. Each ink type performs better in particular environmental conditions and surface types:

Ink Permanence and Erasability Methods:

⚠️Important: Clear coat spray is recommended in high-traffic areas or in areas susceptible to rain. Clear coat reduces ink erasability and can cause permanence. 

⚠️Important: Due to a high variation in surface types and surface applicants, Dusty cannot guarantee the permanence or erasability of our inks. Running your own small test on your specific surface or material is advised.

Recommended Operating Temperatures

Recommendations for Maintaining Optimal Operating Temperature:

•  Overheating: To prevent overheating, keep the equipment in a shaded area. During FieldPrinter operation, solvent-based ink cartridges can be stored in a cool box, but avoid direct contact with ice to prevent damage. 
• Ink Storage: Store ink cartridges in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ideally within a temperature range of 35°F to 85°F. 
• Acclimatization: If cartridges have been stored in a cold environment (below 14°F for water-based inks and below -4°F for solvent-based inks), allow them to reach room temperature (68°F - 72°F) before use. 
• Regular Use: Printing regularly helps keep the ink flowing and prevents it from drying out.
