Ink storage temperature?

Can I storage the ink and solder paste in room temperature, or should be in cool condition, such as in refrigerator?

Sorry, I found that GettingStarted says they should be storaged in refrigerator. Is it OK to keep them in room temperature before opening the cap (before the first usage) when I bought them, or should be in refrigerator as soon as I received them from shop?

Hey @akita1,

Welcome to the forums!

Best thing is to put them in the fridge as soon as you can. Refrigeration prolongs the self-life of the ink and (along with keeping the cap on) helps prevent the ink from drying out which can clog the nozzle.

Cheers,
Troy

Thanks, I’ll do that!
