Substitute cleaning procedures for air quality regulatory
compliance
The various Air Quality Management Districts in California may have rules that restrict the use of
cleaning solvents containing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). This document provides
alternative cleaning procedures for printers located in the areas of California where the use of
solvents containing VOCs is restricted. These revised procedures supersede any previous
instructions, guidelines, or recommendations issued by HP regarding the cleaning or maintenance of
the relevant printers in California. Maintenance procedures that do not involve the use of VOCs for
cleaning are not affected.
Printers located in California should not be cleaned using SolaChrome-UV Printhead Flush, HP UV
Printhead Flush (HP product number CH122A) or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) unless other VOC
compliance measures are in place. This includes the use of any product samples which came with
the printer when it was purchased. Dispose of any remaining Printhead Flush in accordance with
applicable regulations.
The compliant alternative liquid for cleaning and maintaining this printer is: Methyl Acetate (CAS#
79-20-9), at least 98% pure, undiluted.
Follow these safety guidelines when handling parts and cleaning chemicals:
● When handling parts and cleaning liquids use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
as prescribed in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). This includes the use of safety
goggles, chemical protective gloves, and other protective personal clothing. Additional useful
information may also be provided on websites operated by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
● Only those components originally designated for cleaning with Printhead Flush or IPA should be
cleaned with the alternative cleaning liquid.
● Methyl Acetate is a flammable liquid; read and adhere to the instructions in the MSDS document
for safe handling and storage. State and local agencies or fire departments may impose
additional requirements.
● Follow all health, safety and environmental protection regulations when using any solvents to
clean or maintain the printer. An agency that administers health and safety regulations within the
State of California is the Department of Industrial Regulations, Division of Occupational Safety
and Health (Cal-OSHA).
