Six Steps to Getting the Most out of Your Dip Tank

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.
