•Use toner premix or concentrates within 36 months of the date of manufacture. Toners older than 36 months may not have optimal printing performance.
For graphics covered by the 3M MCS warranty, 3M will warrant their durability when printed with toners older than 36 months if the minimum print densities are maintained.
•Store the toner in its original container, tightly sealed, out of direct sunlight and at 40° to 100°F (4° to 38°C).
•Toners may be regulated for shipping. In the United States, toners are not regulated for ground shipment. They are, however, regulated for air shipments and should not be shipped by air without proper documentation. Opened toner bottles (foil seal broken) no longer meet UN packaging guidelines and cannot be shipped air without special UN‐ap proved over packing containers.
•Cleaners and thinners 8970, 8791 and 8792 should be used within 5 years of the date of manufacture.
Refer to the user's guides and manuals supplied with your printer for additional details on how to install and use toners in your printer.
