Supra and 701 here as well. We remove the ink with 701 before it goes in the dip tank though.

no reason to do that if they are scraped good becausae regardless you need to do the 701 step lasta nyway. seriously eliminate that step it is only costing you money

In my experience, this was true in general, but not so with the [some?] whites, nor with One Stroke's ELT-S inks. To get clean reclaim with ELT, we had to change emulsions and do ink removal shortly after tear down.
Nice guys laugh last.

Agree, Whites can be multiple applications with 701 and I can see how doing the step up front on Plastisol whites can make a big difference creating a easier last step. GREAT POINT

I'll give another go. I tried it once and it didn't break down the ink like I expected it to do. It was a mess.

Shoot me an email if you have any questions.

I'd recommend first getting a tank for developing (Just water)... we have a CCI tank for that and an EASYWAY tank for a dip tank... our dip tank is empty right now but we never stopped using our developing tank.

I prefer the design of the CCI tank as well.
