Usage Features

The ink cartridge is designed for straightforward use within compatible Epson Stylus Photo R800 & R1800 Printers. It is intended to be inserted into the printer housing when dry. The formulation is aqueous, indicating it is water-based, which typically implies easier cleanup compared to solvent-based inks.

Potential Health Effects (Acute):

Eyes: May cause mild irritation upon contact.
Skin: May cause irritation, swelling, or redness upon contact, but is not expected to cause an allergic skin reaction.
Inhalation: Intentional exposure to ink vapors may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion: May cause upset stomach.

Emergency First Aid:

Eyes: Immediately flush with room temperature, low pressure, clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin: Wash surface areas with soap and water. Wash soiled clothing before rewearing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Remove subject to ventilated fresh air. Consult physician if necessary.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention if stomach continues to be upset.

Fire Fighting Measures:

Flammability: Flash point is greater than 230 deg. F / 110 deg. C, indicating low flammability.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Instructions: No special fire fighting procedures are required other than breathing apparatus. No special explosion hazards are known.

Maintenance Features

The document primarily focuses on safety and handling, with limited direct "maintenance features" for the cartridge itself beyond proper storage and disposal.

Precautions for Safe Handling and Use:

Keep out of reach of children.
Do not drink ink.
Do not store the cartridge in high or freezing temperatures.
Keep cartridge out of direct sunlight.
Do not dismantle the cartridge.
Do not store cartridges with oxidizing agents or explosives.
Ensure the cartridge is dry before insertion into the printer housing.

Accidental Release Measures:

If a spill occurs, use sponges to wipe up ink.
Rinse the area with a damp cloth.
Place waste in a closed container for disposal.
Use proper ventilation.
Do not dispose of waste to the sewer.
No eye or skin protection is required during cleanup.
Wash hands with soap and water after cleanup.
