##The ink is most usable when it reaches room temperature, so we have to let it warm up in advance.

##Ensure 15 minutes have passed before beginning the next step. This helps the ink flow easier, so the dispenser should not be cold to the touch.

##'''Read carefully.''' The Voltera application explains this step well. Follow the on-screen instructions before moving on to the next step. Some tips/tricks/warnings: <br /><br /> - '''Nozzles are fragile!''' You would be surprised how easy it is to break one. Treat this process with care!<br /> - Hold the dispenser over a paper towel to prevent ink from getting everywhere.<br /> - If you need to wipe the nozzle, do so '''gently''' and '''use a cotton swab found in the drawers.''' <br /> - Ink should not be flowing quickly out of the dispenser when you finish priming, but '''a very small amount''' of flow is OK. <br /> [[File:Voltera priming.jpg|border|none|300x300px]]

##When you reach the instruction titled "Flip Board," you are done. We want to bake these traces on the Reflow Oven before we do anything else to the board.

##Unclamp the board from the Voltera, and remember that the traces are still wet, so do not smear them around.
