with ink, wash them with a plenty of water.
Be careful not to allow the ink to get into your mouth or eyes.
If the ink gets into your eyes, flush them with water well and see a doctor.
In case of accidental ingestion of a large quantity of ink, see a doctor immediately.
- It is also effective to use gloves to prevent ink from adhering when working.
- Since this ink contains pigment, stains will not come out of clothing.
(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 generated ink mist is collected in the printer by the airflow. However,
uncollected ink mist may stain the platen, carriage unit, exterior, and 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 cloth.
