Re: [Digital BW] Cartridge shaking

2010-05-05 by Mark Savoia

Yes, shake (roll hand over hand) very gently and preferably not  
immediately before making a print, let the bubbles settle. How often,  
depends on how often you make a print, if you print everyday they get  
shaken a bit during printing.
