INKS AND FLUIDS
A risk assessment is necessary. Safe working practices vary according to the environment.
There is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each ink, make-up and wash. The SDS describes
precautions and gives advice on personal protective equipment. Each SDS can be found on
the Domino website. Warnings are also displayed on fluid containers.
If the printer is supplied with an empty wash bottle, it is the customer’s responsibility to
correctly label the bottle.
Basic Requirements
When used correctly, printing inks do not cause problems. However, everybody using them
must be familiar with the required safety standards and be aware of the precautions that
must be taken. Below is a list of basic requirements:
• Provide training for people using ink, make-up and wash.
• Maintain proper standards of industrial practice relating to cleanliness and
tidiness.
• Store and handle ink, make-up and wash containers carefully.
• Collect and safely dispose of used cleaning materials. (rags, paper wipes, etc.)
Used cleaning materials are a fire hazard.
• Do not smoke or allow naked flames in the vicinity of ink, make-up or solvents.
• Install the printer in a well ventilated environment. Many inks and make-ups
contain materials which vaporise easily and can be inhaled.
WARNING: Hazardous Chemicals. Risk of skin or eye damage.
Wear protective equipment such as gloves and glasses when near the
printer. Physical contact with printer ink or make-up can cause skin or eye
damage.
