Hello,

I would be grateful if you you tell me if there are any precautions I should take when cleaning photopolymer plates with soap and water? Will the soap or water degrade the plate in anyway?I am using oil-based inks that can be washed with soap and water (Caligo safe wash inks).

Any advice would be much appreciated. Penelope Brown

Re: Cleaning Imagon coated Plates with water;
I would avoid using water since the film is processed mainly with water (and abit of soda-ash). My feeling is that you might begin to erode the plate after a few cleanings.

The non-toxic way around this is use either Baby-oil, Soy-oil or a Soy-solvent (Soy Response). All clean-up any oil based inks really well.
