Cleaning a silk-screen printer

It is important to thoroughly clean a silk-screen printer after using it. Leaving ink to dry on the screen will ruin it.

Use plenty of rags or soft absorbent paper and the appropriate cleaning solvent to remove all the ink as soon as possible after using the printer.

Keep flammable cleaning solvents away from flames.
