Engineer Training General Safety TJ8300 / TJ8500 Confidential 14 Ink and Solvent Safety (Cont.)  Inks and solvents are dangerous to the eyes! Protective goggles must be worn when handling ink, solvent or waste fluids. Keep an emergency eye-wash bottle near the printer.  Do not handle ink or solvent when wearing contact lenses without goggles.  Most inks and solvents are highly volatile! Use active-carbon mouth filters when pouring inks or solvents, or during machine cleaning.

Engineer Training General Safety TJ8300 / TJ8500 Confidential 15 Ink and Solvent Safety (Cont.)  Ink or solvent spillage is dangerous: it can cause fire and be a breathing hazards!  Avoid spillage, and soak up immediately any spilled or leaking fluids. Do not throw soaked-up fluid in the bin! Seal in polyethylene bags and dispose of waste materials in accordance with individual countries safety requirements.  Avoid poisoning by washing hands before eating, after smoking, and before leaving the site.

Engineer Training General Safety TJ8300 / TJ8500 Confidential 16 Waste Disposal  Dispose of waste liquids in a marked and closed container, located at least 25 feet from the printer.  Avoid disposing waste solvent and ink down the drain! These poisonous fluids can cause damage to the environment, and should be incinerated in accordance with individual countries safety requirements.
