Ink safety

[Taliesyn]

I'm sorry, I could not resist. Glad you are OK.

Yes, can't be too careful with posts these days, you never know who
instigates the messages.

One last thing, if you share ink refilling with a close friend (as some
do), be sure not to share needles! ;-)

enough to use. boy not only is it a mess but quite dangereous.

or generic

if the ink is canon oem you have nothing to worry about but if the ink
is generic you do not know what it is since the relabelers will not
disclose it so it is diffiuclt to tell if there is cause for worry.

 

[measekite]

Yes. Mostly about the degree of carelessness which may indicate a
deeper infirmity, whether drug induced or not.

Germs on the needle may be present; watch for infection.

oh yeah germs with generic ink. a bad combo

Don't compare apples to oranges. "Nospam" printed a phenomenal 34,858
pages; you've printed, what, a few hundred? . . . Of course, your
printer is still working. It won't die from imitating a paperweight.

And you would know the possible reaction a body would have to unknown
chemical ingredients inside Canon's cartridges. Ingredients which are
not listed on the box nor on any Canon website for quick antidote
reference in case of ink ingestion.

Moms and Dads, keep ALL empty cartridges away from toddlers who have a
habit of sticking everything they pick up in their mouths. None of these
inks are "edible" unless they say so on the box.

As for people who refill, try to use blunt needles and keep them secure
from little children.

I accidentally poked myself with a needle with canon compatible photo balck ink.
What is this stuff made of anyway? Should I be concerned?

You'll never find out what the exact chemical composition is if it's an
oem ink. They'll never tell you. Maybe they themselves don't even know
seeing as how they only contract out the manufacturing of the ink to
their specifications and then relabel it for distribution.
You'd probably have better luck finding out the chemical composition
from an after market supplier.
However, if you've become ill and required medical attention and the ink
is oem, get an attorney and sue them...odds are you'll do very well.

A kit I bought about a year ago that consisted of 4 medical syringes,
4 *VERY* sharp needles that screwed into them, and 5 bottles of ink (2
blk + the 3 usual colours). The syringes were the size you'd expect
hospitals use to inject drugs into IV bags, and every bit as sharp as
you'd expect medical syringes to be. There were enough warnings that
I wasn't surprised at the sharpness, but I was very surprised that
anyone would assemble such a refill kit for sale, given these
lawyer-happy days.

To the original Poster: If you want to cover all your bases, in
addition to whatever you've already done for first aid, getting a
tetanus shot wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thanks.

You sound like you think syringes are a controlled
item. They are not and are a common item in high
school biology glass and absolutely essential in
many college biology class. Basic biology class
often involve drawing blood and blood typing.

Syringes are of course available in fairly large
packages for insulin injections in most any drug
store. Larger sizes, 20 ml and 50 ml, may require
purchase from a scientific supply company.

There is no need to worry about tetanus, since
kits would obviously use newly manufactured
needles and syringes. And if they sent used
needles, tetanus would be the least of your worries.

For the ink composition -- I'm sure that the mom and pop at maxpatchink.com
would be glad to try to help.

You can get the canon MSDS online

I have bought about 3 canon carts and 5-6 oem carts and the rest have been

printed with oem ink & refilling.

bad typo. It should read non-oem ofcourse:
"I have bought about 3 canon carts and 5-6 NON-oem carts and the rest have been
printed with NON-oem ink & refilling."

If you actually meant it as written, how did you manage to score some
official Canon ink without the cartridges?

I meant NON-oem. My typo.

But a lovely diversion! And please don't insult my INOi, Tony - it's
not an "iPOD". iPODs are overpriced (don't know if they're overrated).
Mine's an "aftermarket" model (an INOi 20GB) like my inks!

http://www.inoi.com/English/MP180.asp


The troll's run out of gas and insults (down to a dozen or so posts per
day from around 100 a few weeks back). He couldn't break my freedom of
choice for inks.


Four pallets? (Gulp!) That'll cost me at least $100 in aftermarket ink
to print, or $1,000,000 if I used OEM inks.


Thanks but I'll stick with my music interests for the time being and
just counter post Measekite once in a while for diversion, to keep him
in check and "honest" about what he posts.

-Taliesyn

Oh dear, sorry INOi, just shows how much I know about such technology. Not
quite fair, I did set a similar device up for a friend a few months back. Quite
enjoyed it, similar tastes in music.
I think it is obvious why the troll has quietened down !!! I would like to
think he has developed some character but no, just been brought to heel for a
while at least.

Photo black is likely a dye colorant ink. It probably contains water,
alcohol of some sort, glycol and a mixture of dyes (red, green, blue or
some other mix, to make black ink.

I'd say, unless it was a considerable amount of ink your bigger risk
might be infection from bacteria on your skin surface.


Try not to poke yourself again...

Not surprised; Measekite recommends young children suck on OEM ink
cartridges mommy and daddy discard. What else would one expect from this
person. Yes, what a joke!

Read his post again where he got that count. Time to finnish your
