How to use the printer safely

One, fire prevention. Most inkjet printers use ketone-based or alcohol-based inks, and most of the cleaning fluids used contain ketones and alcohol. These chemical reagents are flammable and explosive, so when they are used too heavy, we must pay attention to prevent fire. Any used cleaning materials, such as paper towels for wiping, are a fire hazard. These materials must be recovered in time after use and treated in a safe manner. Do not use water to extinguish fires caused by electrical appliances. If water must be used to extinguish a fire caused by nitrocellulose ink, the power must be disconnected first. Many inks contain nitrocellulose as a binder, so they are very flammable when they are dry, and oxygen will be generated when they are burned. Therefore, it is best to use cooling methods to extinguish fires. For example, water is a better choice.

Second, anti-corrosion. The ink and solvent of the inkjet printer are corrosive, so try to avoid contaminating the skin, eyes, nose, etc. If you drop it accidentally, please rinse with plenty of water for a quarter of an hour. If you feel unwell after washing, seek medical attention immediately. Most inks contain ingredients that are easily volatilized and are inhaled into the lungs. Must ensure good ventilation equipment.

Three, ground. The inkjet printer is different from other equipment. Its principle is to rely on electrostatic deflection, so it must be well grounded. If the grounding is not good, the accumulation of static electricity to a certain extent may cause sparks and cause a fire. At the same time, if the grounding is poor, it may cause problems such as poor print quality and poor ink dot splitting, so be sure to ground the printer when using it.

Four, power supply. In cable factories and other companies with large-scale electrical equipment, purchase UPS uninterrupted power supply to prevent unstable operation of the inkjet printer and damage to the power supply. If the fuse of the printer is burned out, be sure to replace the fuse with the same specification. It is best to contact the supplier for repair.

The following are protective measures:

Avoid touching your mouth

No smoking near the machine

Wear protective glasses

Wear protective gloves

In order to avoid high levels of MEK in the air, there should be good ventilation

When testing printing, use a metal beaker and ground it

Properly dispose of the waste liquid

Clean up the spilled liquid in time

Prevent it from entering the drainage or sewage system

In the event of an accident, the following are first aid measures:

Touch the eyes: Once the ink enters the eyes, the first measure should be to flush the contaminated eyes with normal saline (or water) for 15 minutes. Be careful not to let water run into uncontaminated eyes. Seek medical attention immediately.

Skin contamination: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash skin with clean water. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

Ingestion by mistake: rinse mouth with 200-300ml water to avoid vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
