Ink Mist - Canon W6200 Service Manual

Part 1: Safety and Precautions

1.2.2 Ink mist

Since the printhead prints by squirting ink onto the media, a minute amount of ink
mist is generated in the printing unit during printing. The ink mist is collected in the
printer by the airflow. However, uncollected ink mist may stain the platen unit,
carriage unit, main rail unit, external unit, or purge unit.
These stains may soil the print media or hands and clothes when servicing the
printer, wipe them off carefully with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth.
