An uncluttered, clean working environment and regular, safe disposal of waste
materials minimize the risk of spontaneous ignition and other fire hazards.
Many inks used in ink jet printing contain “nitro-cellulose” as the binder and remain
highly flammable even when they are dry.
Therefore keep the printer clean and also the working free of ink accumulations.
Avoid the accumulation of dried ink and clean the working area regular.
Special hints about inks based on „nitro-cellulose“:

This inks remain highly flammable even when they are dry.

If there has been an accumulation of dried ink, do not use ferrous metal (iron or
steel) 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.
In the following you will find examples for the marking of inks and solvents.
