Cold temperatures can turn white ink into a thick, unprintable mess by morning. Implementing a simple winter routine—scraping white ink from press cups and storing it back in the heated turnabout overnight—keeps it warm, smooth, and ready to print the next day. 


This small habit reduces waste, saves valuable setup time, and ensures consistency across every press. A warmed ink supply equals fewer rejects and faster first prints, especially on those cold early shifts.
