Introduction
The safety concerns involved with the handling and use of the UV ink and
Flush are detailed in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) documents.
Review them before handling any UV ink or flush.

CAUTION
UV inks can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow the MSDS
guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
Personal Safety
The operator must wear nitrile gloves, a protective apron, and safety
glasses with side shields when handling inks. Read and practice safety
guidelines as outlined in the MSDS for each ink. Post these documents in
the work area as required by prevailing law. MSDS are provided with all
inks and flush when you purchase them.
Print Height Warning
Avoid printing at a height greater than recommended as this causes
excessive emmsisions of UV light and ink mist. Always measure the
thickness of the media in use and set the carriage height correctly for that
media.
Disposal of UV Ink
All waste containing uncured or partly cured UV ink is hazardous and must
be disposed of separately according to local regulations. Do not mix ink
waste with non-hazardous waste (household, office, etc.). Do not allow it to
reach sewage systems or drinking water supplies. Ink waste includes
maintenance pads and cloths, gloves and any other material containing
uncured or partly cured UV ink.
Disposal must be made according to official local regulations.
