In general, try to avoid direct contact with uncured printing material. If
skin or eyes come into contact with it, wash the area immediately and
thoroughly with water, and follow these first‐aid instructions.
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that accompanies printing
materials contains important safety information. Keep this in an accessible
place where these materials are used and stored.
If uncured printing material comes in contact with skin, wash the affected
area immediately and thoroughly with soap and cool water, then remove
contaminated clothing. Pay particular attention to flushing the hair, ears,
nose and other parts of the body that are not easily cleaned.
Use cool water to prevent skin pores from opening, so that the liquid
material does not easily penetrate the skin.
Do not use solvents to clean skin.
If large areas of skin have been exposed, or if prolonged contact results
in blisters, seek medical attention. In any case, if irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
Avoid the accidental transfer of printing material from the hands to
other areas of the body, especially to the eyes.
If protective cream was used, do not reapply it until the skin has been
completely cleansed.
If uncured printing material comes in contact with the eyes, flush
immediately with large amounts of water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Avoid sunlight, fluorescent light, and other sources of ultraviolet
radiation.
Wearing contact lenses when handling liquid printing materials is not
recommended. If the liquid splashes into the eyes when contact lenses are
worn, immediately remove the lenses and flush the eyes with water.
Clean and disinfect the contaminated lenses.
Do not wear contact lenses until eye irritation disappears.
If printing material is swallowed, refer to the instructions included with the
cartridge. Seek medical attention immediately.
Vapors from printing materials can be irritating to the respiratory system.
If respiratory irritation occurs, expose the victim to fresh air immediately.
If the victim has stopped breathing, perform artificial respiration or
cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Keep the victim warm but not hot.
Never feed anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Oxygen should be administered by authorized personnel only.
