Introduction

How to Remove Uncured Ink
NOTE
Safety glasses with side shields, nitrile gloves and a protective apron must be worn when you
handle ink.
CAUTION
Avoid skin or eye contact with uncured ink as it will cause irritation and sensitization. If a nitrile
glove is contaminated with ink, replace it within a few minutes.
1. Wipe up the majority of the ink by blotting with an absorbent cloth.
2. Wet a new absorbent cloth with alcohol and wipe up the remaining ink.
3. Continue to wet and wipe the surface until the cloth does not show any sign of ink color.
How to Remove Cured Ink
1. Scrape any cured ink from the surface of the table with a scraper (or a razor blade in a
holder).
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the scraped particles of ink and any other debris on the
table surface.
3. Use a lint-free cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol to ensure that the table surface is clear of
any remaining particles.
How to Unplug Vacuum Holes
1. Identify any vacuum holes that are plugged with ink.
2. With an 1.5mm diameter rigid material (e.g., a paper clip), ream out any of the holes that
have been plugged.
3. Clear any resulting debris with a vacuum cleaner or a wet lint-free cloth.
