Ok. Easiway vs Franmar one step. Which is better and drain safe. Problem I can't get the franmar big tank. The easiway tank for 4 - 23x31 is 37 gallon and 280.00. Plus liquid. Good and bad of both. Or is their a better solution/tank?
Thanks,
Shane

Contact them they may have the show special where they included the chemical for free. And it was super cheap!

In early 2014 Xenon will present a system that will eliminate all dip tanks and take the guessing out of costing for screen reclaiming. In the mean time our One Step is all that and a bag of chips. It is way more expensive than an ink cleaner and stencil remover as seperate steps.

CCI also has a DST-2 dip tank for 25x36 screens and holds 6 frames as well for about $325 that includes a hold down bar. There is also a DST-2 Kit that also includes 4 gallons of Dip N Strip chemical for use as a 2n1 ink/ emulsion remover. You only need 1 gallon of Dip N Strip per tanks full.

Hey Sonny, I may give you a hard time on here... but at least you are open about who you work for!

We've tried both. Franmar seemed to last longer than Easiway. But in the end, we went back to a 2 step process. The extra step yields a better reclaim and a cleaner reclaim area.

^^This seemed to be the reality to me as well. Is anyone getting really clean screens with a 'one step' process?
Back when I was using Easiway stuff I tried Supra it seemed as if it was MORE work than using 701/842 and then 500.

Anyone have any tips on using a dip tank with discharge/waterbased? Main issue for me is having to stop production to clean screens as I am usually alone. Letting the ink dry on the screen isnt really an option. I guess I could just card off the excess ink and just have the diptank full of water, but if there is something that will also soften up the emulsion I would use it in a heart beat. I probably will continue to simply scrub off the plastisol as my cleaner wrecks it without issue, and from what i've read the combo solutions suck a bit and your tank gets nasty pretty quick, even if you card off pre dip.
