Cleanup of Rollers and Brayers
Takach Press rollers are made of natural rubber with some plasticies to help hold the durometer. However we always suggest using a quality roller wash such as Varn 133 for final cleanup. The roller wash will remove any oily residue that may be left from whatever type of cleaner that may have been used. You can also use water and dishwashing soap for clean up. Dishwashing soap is good at breaking up oily surfaces.
To protect your roller long term.
Limit the use and time exposed to petroleum based products. Also keep the roller covered when not in use to protect it from any U.V. light source such as fluorescent lights and sun light.

Also do not leave your roller or brayer laying on a surface or touching another surface. This will cause an indent to form in the rubber creating a mark when you are rolling ink onto your plate.
