    Age of UV inks

    June 25, 2009

    Question: We have ink on our shelf dating to 2006 – is that OK?

     

    Answer: Most ink companies will agree that UV ink should be used within six months of manufacture and be stored in plastic containers. Using ink that is 2.5 years old is not a great idea at all. You could not get cure and may have serious lay issues. Why gamble?
