    The pungent smell of the ink of the ordinary inkjet printer is harmful, that is the smell of aromatic hydrocarbons, mainly benzene and some harmful gases, try to stay away from it, especially for long-term contact. Affect reproductive function and affect the nerve center of the brain However, there are also environmentally friendly inks produced by some manufacturers, which basically have no damage to the human body, but they are very high.

    Ask your boss to buy more spider plants, aloe vera and other plants to raise there, those plants can eliminate 90% of the smell, but it is best to change the workplace, be sure to ventilate.

    I think you must be an outdoor inkjet printer operator, and the outdoor machine is sprayed with solvent ink, so he has a strong smell. This is mainly due to the solvents in the main outdoor ink. This solvent is inhaled into your body when it evaporates.

    No matter how much the ink manufacturer advertises. It doesn't solve this problem. If you work in this environment for a long time, it is recommended that you first ventilate it, as this will reduce his threat to you, and then be sure to do a good job of personal protection when working.

    Have you ever seen a painter at work? At that time, your working environment was similar to his. :) there is one more sentence to say.

    If you are not married, it is advisable not to do this kind of work. (For some reason I can't tell you directly what this dissolving agent is.) I beg your pardon. )

    Hello, inkjet printers use ink in their cartridges, and they are not heated printing, so they are harmless!

    However, if a laser printer is used, the laser printer uses a toner cartridge, and the toner cartridge is used for printing toner, and inhalation of this substance is toxic and harmful to the body, but it is generally only harmful when the toner cartridge is disassembled and powdered.

    Therefore, it is best to bring protective equipment such as masks when disassembling and assembling toner cartridges!

    Inkjet ink, like chemical products such as paint, contain toxic ingredients such as benzene and methanol, and once such chemical raw materials are absorbed by the human body, it is difficult to excrete them from the body. Therefore, the work of dealing with this kind of products is also a special work, and the most important thing to pay attention to in this kind of working environment is good ventilation performance and perfect protection measures. Working in such an environment all year round, if there is no perfect protective measures and a firm sense of protection, there will be big problems.

    In addition to the difference in production cost, whether the manufacturer has a rigorous inspection of the ink and whether the testing equipment is perfect, will also affect the quality of the ink.

    Generally, large European manufacturers can provide a "Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS", which in addition to analyzing the composition of the ink, will also display the safety standards, including a "risk phrase" crisis index, which will indicate the degree of impact of the ink on the human body and the matters to be paid attention to, but if it is found that there is 2-ethoxyethyl acetate in the MSDS, its "risk phrase" It's R60-61, which shows that it's very toxic.

    R60 - long-term inhalation in pregnant women can cause miscarriage; R61 – Affects male reproductive function. This information is important to the user as it tells you whether the ink you choose will affect your health and safety. Before choosing an ink, it's important to understand their composition before making the right choice.

    Recently, some MSDSs issued by Asia and China are far from the actual ink composition in order to enter the European market. Therefore, when verifying MSDS data, it is necessary to be careful to verify it, otherwise it may be difficult to escape the poison. The MSDS of major European manufacturers is credible because of their well-established monitoring system, clear and unambiguous legislation, rigorous testing process, and perfect testing equipment.

    Therefore, the choice of inkjet ink should not be cheap, but more importantly, we should pay attention to the intrinsic quality of the ink, so as to protect our body from it.
