available), taking care not to allow the water to run into an unaffected eye. Medical aid must be
obtained immediately.
After exposure to ink, all possible traces must be washed off as soon as possible at the nearest
washing facility.
Most inks contain solvents which may injure the skin. Good working practice must always be
employed and risk assessments carried out. Safety Data Sheets are available that give advice on
personal protective equipment. Most gloves only offer limited and short term exposure protection
and must be changed after any splashing and on a frequent basis.
Many inks contain materials which vaporize easily and can be inhaled. Good ventilation is
necessary.
Any used cleaning materials, e.g. rags, paper wipes, are a potential fire hazard. They must be
collected for safe disposal after use.
Certain inks are allowed for use where they can be in indirect contact with food. In these cases,
the following precautions must be observed in addition to those appropriate to hygiene:
The inks must only be used in printers supplied from new for use with these inks. Any repairs and
replacements must use genuine, new and unused spare parts.
The inks must not be used in printers which have previously been used, at any time, for any other
purpose.
Storage
Printing inks must be stored in well-ventilated buildings, in areas set aside for the purpose, chosen for
safety in case of fire. Materials based on volatile, flammable solvents must be stored in accordance with
local regulations.
Fire Risk
For an electrical fire, do not use water. If water must be used, such as in the case of a Nitro-cellulose ink
fire (see below) the power MUST BE REMOVED first.
Many inks contain Nitro-cellulose as the binder and remain highly flammable when dry. Observe all
warnings given on the machine and the following safety instructions:
If there has been an accumulation of dried ink, do not use metal scrapers to remove it, as they
can produce sparks.
If dry Nitro-cellulose based ink ignites, it will generate its own oxygen and can only be
extinguished by lowering the temperature with water.
If a Nitro-cellulose fire occurs, ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS IMMEDIATELY
REMOVED FROM THE PRINTER BEFORE water is used to extinguish the fire. Fire risk is a
most important consideration where printing inks are stored and used. The degree of fire hazard
will vary considerably from one type of ink or wash to another. Solvent-based inks offer a greater
degree of hazard depending on the particular solvent or solvent combination. When there is a
particular hazard the appropriate information is given on the SDS.
Printer Overview
The Printer consists of a Controller cabinet and a print head that are connected by a Flexible conduit.
They work seamlessly together to create reliable product coding. The cabinet is split into an electronics
compartment and a fluid compartment. The electronics compartment houses the controller PCB, has the
