Good to know

Because yield varies with coverage, it is advisable to monitor usage for high-coverage jobs. For best results, store the cartridge in a cool, dry environment within the specified temperature range and use within 24 months of purchase. This kit includes one cartridge; additional cartridges may be required for extended runs.
