Ink and Chip Unit Precautions

Follow these precautions as you refill the ink in your product:
  • Store ink packs in a location out of the reach of children.
  • Wear protective eyewear and gloves when refilling ink.
  • Be sure to read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using ink packs. You can download it from epson.com/proimaging.
  • Gently cut or tear off the ink pack spout seal. If you cut the ink pack spout seal too quickly, ink may splatter.
  • Do not squeeze open ink packs. Ink may spill.
  • Gently tilt the ink pack when pouring ink into the ink tank.
  • Do not place anything on the ink tank or subject it to strong impacts, or the ink tank could detach.
  • Do not switch between High Density Black ink and Black inks in the same ink tank. You must contact Epson Support to have a service engineer replace the type of ink being used in an ink tank.
  • Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink packs.
  • Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
  • Information about non-genuine chip unit status may not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is recorded for possible use in service support.
Warning: Should ink contact your skin or enter your eyes or mouth, immediately take the following actions:
  • If fluid contacts your skin, immediately wash it off using large volumes of soapy water. Consult a physician if the skin appears irritated or discolored.
  • If fluid enters your eyes, rinse them immediately with water. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult with a physician.
  • If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and consult with a physician immediately. Inducing vomiting may cause material to get in your windpipe and cause injury.
