After you have printed using the Nazdar 7900, what do you use to clean the screen and the squeegee?

As already mentioned, the standard method is to use xzylene. But several years ago a master screen printer put me onto a spray-on product that, with water, converts Nazdar 5500 ink (also a solvent-based ink) into a solution that dissolves in water. Just clean your screens in a sink and wash it all down the drain (can't vouch for the non-toxicity of the solution you're washing down the drain). It works like a charm with no xylene fumes. It's "Screen Wash - 1100" from Advanced Color & Chemical, Mountain View, CA, 650-968-8183. I hope it's still available.bkyard wrote:After you have printed using the Nazdar 7900, what do you use to clean the screen and the squeegee?
