Inks and Solvents
The effects of solvents and inks are potentially harmful. Whenever inks
and solvents are used, the following precautions must be observed:
• BEFORE YOU START read the Material Safety Data Sheets. If you
do not fully understand, or are unsure, contact your supervisor for
guidance
If the Material Safety Data Sheets have not been supplied or are not
available, please contact your local Linx distributor. ALWAYS refer to
the Material Safety Data Sheets before working with inks and solvents
• Ensure that the printing area is adequately ventilated at all times when
working on the printer, or with inks and solvents
• Wear safety eyeglasses that comply with the appropriate European and
International Directives when handling inks and solvents. The eye
protection symbol is shown in this manual, where appropriate, to
remind personnel of the mandatory requirement to WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES
• Wear approved, solvent resistant gloves. Barrier cream can be applied,
but solvent resistant gloves must be worn when contact with inks or
solvents is likely
• Store all inks and solvents in original containers, tightly closed, in a
well ventilated cabinet away from any source of heat
• Remove all spilt ink and solvent, or build-up of ink deposits
immediately, using the correct solvent type for the ink being used
First Aid
Precautions
Ensure that first aid information is readily available in the event of
ingestion, inhalation, or contact with the skin or eyes.
Ideally, all operators should be trained in First Aid and should be aware of
the effects of working with flammable and toxic substances.
All operators must have access to the ink and solvent Material Safety Data
Sheets, which explain the hazards and medical action to be taken if first aid
is necessary.
Procedures
The following first aid procedures do not supersede any details stated in
the Material Safety Data Sheets, which must be your prime source of first
aid information.
