This is OUR way to reclaim screens. The fun AND clean way!

Published 2023-02-21
Lots of screen printers really dislike this process.
I'm here to show you that it can be a relaxing, fun, and not a messy experience.

This is the way we reclaim screens, many shops have different ways for this process but this is the one that works for us.

Wear ear protection at all times (not shown)

These are the eco-friendly chemicals we use from Ryonet:

Ink Degrader

-Remove the tape (shortly after taking the screens down)
-Spray Ink degrader and scrub
-Power wash
-Dip screen in dip tank with CP2 mineral spirits
-Power wash emulsion off
-Spray haze remover and scrub
-Set aside for a few minutes
-Power wash one last time
-Bingo! Don't forget to stay clean
