A simple squeeze of the hand will go a long way toward keeping the Technotrans Ink.line cartridge-fed ink dispensing system on your Speedmaster XL 105, SM 102, CD 102, or SM 74 press working properly. The Ink.line system relies on the trouble-free operation of the ink cartridges from which the ink is dispensed.
Sometimes, for example, a small ring of dry ink can causes the piston inside the cartridge to stick, preventing ink from dispensing correctly. To prevent this, simply give the ink cartridge a gentle squeeze to break the bond of the dry ink.
Another good procedure is to avoid stacking Ink.line cartridges horizontally, on top of each other. To prevent damage, store cartridges in the vertical position only.
