Precautions in handling ink cartridge
• Use the recommended ink cartridge by Mimaki.
• Do not touch the ink directly. If the ink settles on the skin or clothes, immediately wash it off with soap
and water. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with a lot of clean water. Then,
consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Store ink cartridge in a dark and cold place.
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature for
more than three hours before using it.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within six months. If an
extended period of time has passed after opening the cartridge, drawing quality would be poor.
• Store ink cartridges in a place that is out of the reach of children.
• When discarding unused ink cartridges, entrust them to an industrial waste disposal contractor,
clarifying their contents.
• Some component (photoinitiator) of the ink is toxic against aquatic organisms. Avoid leakage of it to
natural water system or domestic waste water.
• Do not use ink cartridges expired the date noted on them.
• Before using an ink cartridge, be sure to read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Do not shake the ink cartridge violently. Shaking or turning it toughly can cause leakage of ink.
• Never disassemble the ink cartridge.
• Never refill the ink cartridge with ink. Refilling the ink cartridge can cause a trouble. Remember that
Mimaki assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridge replenished
with ink.
