SUMMARY A printer developed allergic contact dermatitis due to epoxy acrylate resin. Incomplete cross‐reactivity between four epoxy acrylate resins and a lack of cross‐reactivity to epoxy resin was demonstrated. The epoxy acrylate resin has been shown to be a potent cutaneous sensitizer for the guinea‐pig.
