It is recommended that the printer is situated at least 600 mm from floor level for your
comfort.
Inks and Solvents
Whenever inks and solvents are used, safety eyeglasses to the appropriate European and
International Directives must be worn. Solvent resistant gloves must be worn when contact with inks
or solvents is likely.
The effects of solvents and inks are potentially harmful. Prior to use, ensure the printing area is
properly ventilated and the Material Safety Data Sheets have been read and fully understood. If you
are unsure, contact your supervisor for guidance.
If the Material Safety Data Sheets have not been supplied or are not available, please contact your
local EC-JET distributor. ALWAYS refer to the Material Data Safety Sheets before working with inks
and solvents.
Store all inks and solvents in original containers, in a well ventilated cabinet and away from heat
sources. Ensure all spilt ink or ink deposits are removed immediately using the correct solvent for
the ink used.
First Aid
Ensure that first aid information is readily available in the event of ingestion, inhalation, or contact
with the skin or eyes. Ideally all operators should be trained in First Aid and should be aware of the
effects of working with flammable and toxic substances. All operators should have access to the ink
and solvent Material Safety Data Sheets, which explain the hazards and medical action to be taken
if first aid is necessary.
Eye Contact
Flush eyes using clean running water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Obtain immediate medical
attention.
Skin Contact
Remove any contaminated clothing and wash the affected skin area thoroughly with proprietary
cleaner. Do NOT attempt to use solvents to remove ink from skin.
Inhalation
Evacuate the person into a fresh air environment. If the person experiences any difficulty in
breathing, obtain immediate medical attention.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting; obtain immediate medical attention and give the casualty half a litre of
water to drink.

position. Call for medical assistance as required.
