Usage Instructions
Blankets
:
Apply the concentrate solution with a damp cloth or sponge to dilute and remove the ink layer. Remove the residue with a clean damp cloth or sponge. Finish with water application and wipe dry.
Inking Rollers
:
Apply concentrate wash from a squeeze bottle to loosen the ink film. Fix the gutter blades and apply HMK Wash 1 pre-mixed with 15% ~ 30% water from a separate squeeze bottle. This gives a complete wash-up which removes ink and water soluble material and rejuvenates the rubber surfaces in one single application. Use of a separate squeeze bottle ensures controlled consumption and minimal skin contact.
