Print with adequate ventilation; curing releases vapors — vent your dryer. Always stir the ink before use — standard practice to re-blend any settling. Storage & shelf life: keep sealed and out of direct sunlight. Shelf life is 1–2 years for standard inks; low-cure and all-polyester inks must be stored at 60–80°F. In high heat expect some expansion in the container — open carefully. Do not freeze. Uncured ink is not hazardous waste but should be handled and disposed of per local regulations.
