Scented Ink Lessons Learned

• After smelling for the ink on the paper, you
  become desensitized. It is a sensory overload.
• Using coffee grounds to clear your palate is
  beneficial to get the clear scent.
• If the area to rub is not clearly marked, make
  sure the area is large.

Scented Ink Lessons Learned

• Gum builds up on the ink rail and inside of the
  ink canister due to the viscosity.
• Need to determine what chemical to use to clean
  the gum build up on the inside of the page pack.
• Had to remove the filter from the canister to
  allow proper flow. The fragrance capsules would
  get caught in the filter.
