Plastisol Ink Remover or Cleaner / Plastisol Screen Wash is the solution for cleaning ink screens. You can use it at the sink specifically designed to dissolve Plastisol and UV ink. Ready to use, this product is safe for use with capillary stencils and emulsions.

The Ink Degrader can also be used in continuous recycling until the product is heavily soiled with solids and waste ink. The used product can then be filtered and reused. Be sure to check with your local sanitation area regarding restrictions on ink residue that can be washed into the sanitation system and the type of filtration required.

1. Spray or pour a small amount of ink cleaner onto the screen.
2. Grab a blue shop towel or rag of choice. Scrub both sides of the screen, re-applying Ink cleaner/degrader as needed until the screen is clean. Should always be rinsed with water.
3. If you plan on cataloging or reusing the screen, you can rinse both sides of the screen clean of any residue with pressured water. This will also help to remove more of the pigment that can become lodged in the knuckles of the mesh causing it to stain.
