Pre-treatment Solution Safety Precautions

Observe these precautions when applying the pre-treatment solution:
  • Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area when applying pre-treatment solution.
  • Only prepare as much solution as necessary for the current job. If you prepare more than required, the extra solution may harden.
  • Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and a mask when applying the pre-treatment solution. If pre-treatment solution comes in contact with your skin or enters your eyes or mouth, take the following actions:
    • If you get pre-treatment solution on your skin, immediately wash it off using plenty of soap and water. Consult a physician if your skin is irritated or discolored.
    • If pre-treatment solution gets in your eyes, rinse immediately with water. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult a physician.
    • If pre-treatment solution gets in your mouth, consult a physician immediately. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and consult a physician immediately. If vomiting is induced, solution may get caught in the trachea which can be dangerous.
  • Store the pre-treatment solution out of the reach of children.
  • After working with the pre-treatment solution, wash your hands thoroughly and gargle.
  • Store the pre-treatment solution at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not store the pre-treatment solution in high or freezing temperatures.
  • If pre-treatment solution gets stuck to the print head, it could cause the printer to malfunction and print quality to decline. Make sure that solution does not stick to the inside of the printer by accident when performing maintenance.
  • Do not put waste pre-treatment solution in the waste ink bottle as it will solidify if mixed with waste ink.
Caution:
Pre-treatment solution is classified as industrial waste and must be disposed of by an industrial waste disposal company according to local laws and regulations. When handing over the pre-treatment solution to an industrial waste disposal company, make sure you include these safety precautions.
