The provided document is a Product Information Sheet (PIS) for an Epson Ink Cartridge, specifically model T017201, designed for use with Epson Stylus Color 777 and 777i Printers. This document serves as a safety data sheet, detailing the composition, hazards, first aid measures, fire-fighting instructions, accidental release measures, safe handling and use precautions, exposure controls, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicology, ecological information, disposal considerations, transportation information, and regulatory considerations for the ink cartridge.

Function Description

The Epson Ink Cartridge T017201 is a consumable component for Epson Stylus Color 777 and 777i Printers. Its primary function is to provide the ink necessary for printing. The ink formulation is aqueous, meaning it is water-based, and contains proprietary dyes, pigments, and organic materials, along with glycerols and water. The ink is described as a light black liquid, indicating it is likely a black ink cartridge.

NFPA/HMIS Hazard Rating (U.S.): Health (1), Flammability (1), Instability/Reactivity (0), Other (0). A rating of 1 for Health and Flammability indicates slight hazard, while 0 for Instability/Reactivity indicates stability.

Usage Features

The ink cartridge is designed for straightforward use within compatible Epson Stylus Color 777 and 777i Printers. The PIS emphasizes safety precautions during handling:

Avoid contact with eyes or clothing: In case of eye contact, flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and water.
Inhalation: Intentional exposure to ink vapors should be avoided as it may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: May cause upset stomach.
Storage: Keep out of reach of children. Do not store in high or freezing temperatures, or in direct sunlight.
Installation: Ensure the cartridge is dry before insertion into the printer housing.
Disassembly: Do not dismantle the cartridge.
Compatibility: Do not store with oxidizing agents or explosives.

Maintenance Features

The document primarily focuses on safety and handling rather than device-specific maintenance. However, it provides guidelines for accidental spills:

Spill cleanup: Use sponges to wipe up ink, then rinse the area with a damp cloth.
Waste disposal: Place waste in a closed container for disposal. Do not dispose of waste to the sewer.
Personal protection during cleanup: No eye or skin protection is required during cleanup, but washing hands with soap and water afterward is recommended.
Ventilation: Use proper ventilation during cleanup.

The PIS also notes that used and unused cartridges are not a federal RCRA hazardous waste, and disposal should comply with federal, state, and local requirements. This indicates that the cartridges do not require special hazardous waste handling for disposal, simplifying maintenance and end-of-life procedures. The document does not detail any user-serviceable parts or routine maintenance steps for the cartridge itself beyond safe handling and disposal.
