For everyone who lives in a cold state like we do, the problem of supplies freezing is a issue we deal with every winter. We previously wrote about problems that happen to Premier Eco Printshield when it freezes that ruin the product. We are glad to report, on a more positive note, that freezing does not ruin Epson Ultrachrome pigment Ink. Epson has confirmed that pigment ink for the Epson Stylus Pro series, Epson Ultrachrome Inks, Ultrachrome K3 Inks, and Epson HDR Inks are not damaged in any way by the cold, freezing, or thawing. If these cartridges do freeze, either due to UPS leaving it on a doorstep or forgetting it in your car, they are still perfectly good ones they thaw out.MAKE SURE YOU GIVE IT PLENTY OF TIME TO THAW AND WARM UP TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE PUTTING THE EPSON INK CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER!
For best results from frozen inks, you have to shake it *Very* well after it thaws before you put it into the printer.
Does a freeze ruin Epson Ink?
No. If an Epson ink cartidge freezes or is subject to cold, it is not ruined. It should be allowed to warm up to room temperature (thaw it), shaken well, and it should work fine. This applies if it is frozen solid or partially frozen. Allow plenty of time for it to warm up.
How would it possibly freeze?
There are a few ways this could happen. If you leave the ink in your car, if UPS left a package on your doorstep, if your studio is cold, or if you like to work outside.
