How To Use Your Dip Tank the Proper Way
Streamline your screen cleaning process and get back what matters most - your time!
1. Prep Like a Pro
- Remove tape and scrape off excess ink before putting your screen in the dip tank.
- This prevents gunk build-up and ensures optimal cleaning
2. Dip & Dwell
- Submerge the screen in the dip tank filled with a pre-mixed solution of One-Step Dip Tank Solution (1 part) and water (7 parts).
- Let it soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the solution to break down ink and emulsion.
3. Rinse & Blast
- Pull out the screen, tilting it to drain excess solution back into the tank.
- Blast both sides (substrate side first) with a high-pressure washer to remove loosened ink & emulsion.
4. Final Touches
- Spray both sides with ID-360 Ink Degradent & Stain Remover.
- Use small circular motions to scrub any remaining ink or stains. This powerful formula tackles even the toughest residues.
- Power wash the screen again to ensure a spotless clean.
5. Rinse
- Throughly rinse the screen.
- End with a low-pressure flood rinse until all bubbles are gone and water flows smoothly.
6. Inspect & Dry
- Hold the screen up to a light source to confirm at 100% clean surface.
- Use the Pro-Cure Screen Dryer for a cleaner and faster dry.
