I found a good way to remove printer ink off hands. Take some fast orange hand cleaner and rub it in then take a pumice stone and scrub the ink off. This will remove most but not all ink.

I have found that olive oil and Diesel get ink and oil off the hands very easily.

I used fast orange in my print shop for 20+ years. keep a gallon bottle with a squirt top, in my stationary tub, for cleaning up here. helped keep our hands from drying out handling all the paper, too. good stuff!!

My dad has been in the printing business his whole life and always told me that ink can cause cancer everytime I would draw a fake tattoo on my arm with a ink pen when I was a kid. Not sure if its true or not, but I dont want to find out. Careful with that stuff guys and gals.

When my grandfather was alive still and ran his flat bed truck business we used orange all the time at the end of the day for cleaning up. That stuff will take the grit, dirt, grease, ink, skin..ha! right off ya.
Good stuff. I need to make a note to grab some for my shop here at the house, its great.

Whenever I take anything apart, I always put on a pair of gloves. The reason is that so many of the things you process not only have chemicals and agents you don't really want to come into contact with, but there is no telling where the scrap has been, what bacteria it might have picked up, or what chemicals it might have been subjected to before it found itself want into your hands.
I purchase scrap from a guy who breaks down old hospital equipment. He was out of contact for two months, when he contacted me again he explained what happened. He got an infection that ended up being mrsa and had to have a thumb and part of his hand amputated. I am not saying this happens all the time, but it could happen, or something similar. But it did scare me straight. I used to sometimes skip the gloves because it's a hassle, but not anymore. And when dealing with the recovery and refining process it's a must, and double gloved at that.
The OP is correct though, the orange cleaners are awesome, and really work well...

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
