Ink System
Handling Inks
2.1
The Arizona 500 printer uses solvent-based pigmented inks in cyan (C), magenta (M),
yellow (Y), black (K), light magenta (LM) and light cyan (LC) in 1 quart (.95-liter)
replaceable supply bottles located internally. Bottles should be visually checked daily.
Read and practice the safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for each ink, and post the document in the work area as required by prevailing
law.
For personal safety, the operator must wear the following safety gear when handling inks:
•
Butyl rubber gloves
•
Protective apron
•
NIOSH-approved respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator)
•
Safety glasses with side shields
The liquid ink and its fumes are combustible. They may also cause eye and skin irritation
upon prolonged or repeated contact. Ink may be absorbed through the skin and the fumes
cause respiratory system irritation and nervous system impairment.
Ink Supply Tray
2.1.1
The ink supply tray is located at the front lower left of the printer behind closed doors
(see Figure 2-1). The other containers on this tray are the waste bottle and cleaning
solution/fluid supply. Observe all bottle location and warning labels on and around the
ink supply tray.
