Fire Risk
Observe all warnings given on the machine and the following safety instructions.
For an electrical fire, do not use water.
If there has been an accumulation of dried ink, do not use metal scrapers to remove it, as they
can produce sparks.
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.
Water-based inks will not burn, although inks based on water-alcohol mixtures may burn if there
is sufficient alcohol present.
Prolonged exposure of water-based systems to high temperatures may evaporate the water to
give a flammable residue.
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.
If there is a fire, there is a likelihood that dangerous fumes will arise from printing inks. For this
reason, ink must be stored where it can be reached quickly by the fire fighting service, and where
it will not spread beyond the store.
Spillages and Disposal
WARNING Flammable material. Risk of fire.
Do not allow ink to dry or allow any build
‑
up of dried ink.
Some dried inks are highly flammable. Clean up all ink spillages
immediately.
Spillages must be cleaned up as soon as possible with the appropriate solvent materials and
with regard to the safety of personnel. Care must be taken to prevent spillages or residue from
cleaning up entering drains or sewage systems.
Inks and associated fluids are materials that conduct electricity. Therefore, the power to the
printer must be switched off while spillages are being cleaned up.
Printing inks and associated fluids must not be treated as ordinary waste. They must be
disposed of using approved methods according to local regulations.
