Getting Fingers Dirty
Container for 2 oz. squeeze bottles
Below are pictures of the container that I am using for my 2 oz. squeeze bottles.
I place the container in the door of my refrigerator. I do this for three reasons:
1. Ease of access.
2. Every time I open the door the movement shakes the ink in the bottles.
Note: Is this a good idea to shake the bottles this often?
3. The temperature next to the door is a bit higher than the refrigerator proper.
According to the information on the manufactures ink container the ink should be stored above 60 degrees F. I take this to mean that the 60 degree temperature is for optimum printing results. The higher door temperature means that I will not have to wait as long for ink to reach 60 degrees.
The ink can reach the desired 60 degrees by three methods:
1. Take the ink bottle out of the container and set it aside until it reasons 60 degrees. Use this method if you are not in a hurry to print.
2. Take the ink bottle out of the container and fill the cart with the ink. Wait for the ink to reach 60 degrees. Use this method if you do not need to print immediately.
3. Soak a paper towel or a small cotton wash cloth in warm water and wrap the towel/wash cloth around the lower half of the bottle. You should do this if you want to print as soon as possible. Caution: this method may increase the growth of mold and whatnot in the ink.
Or you can place the cold ink into the cart and print and see what happens.
Information on the container and bottles:
The container came from Costco.
The footprint of the container is 4.5 inches x 4.75 inches (outside).
The depth of the container is 6. 875 inches (inside).
The opening is 4 inches in diameter (inside)
The diameter of each bottle is 1.5 inches.
Bottle + needle (1.5 inches) + scabbard = 6.125 inches high
The last picture shows a bottle on the outside with a 2 inch needle. The 2 inch needle bottle will fit inside the container with the lid on. Eight-2 oz. bottles will fit inside the container. I believe that five-4 oz. bottles will fit inside the container.
Thank you.
