Spillages and Disposal
WARNING: Some dried inks are highly flammable. Clean up
all ink spillages immediately. Do not allow the
ink to dry or allow any build-up of dried ink spills.
Spillages must be cleaned up as soon as possible with the appropriate
solvent materials and with regard to the safety of personnel. Care must be
taken to prevent spillages or residue from cleaning up entering drains or
sewage systems.
Inks and associated fluids are materials which conduct electricity.
Therefore, power to the printer must be switched off while spillages inside
the printer cabinet are being cleaned up.
Printing inks and associated fluids must not be treated as ordinary waste.
They must be disposed of using approved methods according to local
regulations.
