No problem 👍🏼

Are you sure this has to be done *every* time? We use a high-pressure jet which seems to work fine. Maybe we need a lower pressure jet like the one you have, and use some of this stuff. also - what screen types is this stuff suitable for? thanks.

[@chromalinescreenprintproducts]

Yes, we recommend it for every screen to eliminate many other issues in the screen printing process

Can we use normal kitchen detergent to degresing? Have you ever tried? Thx

[@chromalinescreenprintproducts]

Depending on the composition, it may work just fine for getting new mesh clean; however, we avoid these consumer-level detergents because: 1. They often contain hand softening agents; and 2. have extremely high foaming effects. Both of which may cause the next coat of emulsion to either not adhere well to the mesh or have blemishes (fisheyes/orange-peel texture).
