Handling Inks

The Arizona 500 printer uses solvent-based pigmented inks in cyan (C), magenta (M), 

yellow (Y), black (K), light magenta (LM) and light cyan (LC) in 1 quart (.95-liter) 

replaceable supply bottles located internally. Bottles should be visually checked daily. 

Read and practice the safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet 

(MSDS) for each ink, and post the document in the work area as required by prevailing 

law.

For personal safety, the operator must wear the following safety gear when handling inks:

•

Butyl rubber gloves

•

Protective apron

•

NIOSH-approved respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator)

•

Safety glasses with side shields

The liquid ink and its fumes are combustible. They may also cause eye and skin irritation 

upon prolonged or repeated contact. Ink may be absorbed through the skin and the fumes 

cause respiratory system irritation and nervous system impairment.
