Mineral spirits will definitely clean the press and rollers, but I don’t use VOCs in the University of Regina studio. Even with good ventilation, they are dangerous and quite bad for everyone’s health. Our cleanup process for this press uses non-toxic Soyclear 1500, vegetable oil, vinegar, and other safe household products… the only downside being that it takes a little longer than conventional solvents.
@@professortruszkowski I'm working on a newly built print shop at the hungry hollow steam and gas engine show grounds in rice lake Wisconsin. We had a bunch of equipment donated to us. Trying to get everyone up to speed on operations of the 4 presses and the linotype.
This was exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Thank for instruction my very good friend. God Bless
Would you mind sharing where you buy Soyclear from? I'm interested in moving away from using mineral spirits for my press cleanup!
I was taught to use mineral spirits to clean the press and the rollers is that not correct?
