Title: Cleaning the inside of the Exposure Unit Vacuum Blanket
Post by: im_mcguire on April 26, 2017, 01:55:27 PM
We have a neoprene blanket on our unit, and I was curious if any of you use any type of ink remover on the blanket.  A few of my screens had some ink left in them when I exposed a screen.  I just dont want to screw up the blanket with any chemical that would harm it.

Once you get it clean put a sheet of black cloth or hefty bag liner over your screen. It will protect your blanket from this happening.

I usually do use a liner on my screens, and of course this time I was in a hurry, and got some ink on the blanket.  Its not terrible, I just want to clean it without screwing the blanket up.  Anyone here clean a blanket before?

In the past, I have seen some folks write about using baby wipes to clean screens. If that is truly the case, that may be a very gentle solution for this.
