I-A06
I-A06 is a cost-effective water-based reliable ink with excellent density. It is capable of presenting clear and prominent marks
on cases and providing large number of prints with great density even in low resolution settings. Resistant to UV and water, I-
A06 is best for Cardboard, Coated paper and Wood. I-A06 is the optimal ink solution which perfectly meets secondary
packaging marking demands.

Handling & Special Reminder
◼ For best print quality, store cartridge in the sealed vacuum bag at recommended storage temperature.
◼ For best print quality, finish cartridge within one month upon removal from the vacuum bag.
◼ Please clean cartridge printhead using lint-free cloth (moistened with deionized water) before and after usage.
◼ When not in usage, please protect the cartridge printhead using original cartridge clip to avoid printhead damages.
◼ For best print quality, please refer to the "ANSER Cartridge Handling Procedure" for more detail.
Remark:
① Average ink delivery volume: 36 ~ 38ml. As reference, this may vary by application and environment.
② From the cartridge filling date (storage at 25℃)
③ Optical Density @ 300 DPI on copy paper
④ Decap Time performance at room temperature (25℃)
⑤ Dry time (seconds) may vary due to printing environment conditions (temp./humidity) & substrate material differences
Disclaimer: Ink performance may vary according to the substrate, and environmental conditions. The information presented in this data sheet is intended only as a
