First Aid for Working With Printing Materials
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 the first-aid instructions below.
Contact with Skin
If uncured printing material comes in contact with skin:
• Immediately wash the affected area 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.
Contact with Eyes
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.
The wearing of 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.
• 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.
Ingestion
If printing material is swallowed, refer to the instructions included with the cartridge. Seek medical
attention immediately.
