Best way to keep ink buckets and area clean?

The rolling racks in front of the shelves are inks in current use on the press. We clean every bucket and lid before it goes back on the storage shelf. The storage shelves against the wall are organized by color family.

We just order these. Keeps everything clear and organized.

Looking good. If you want to take it to the next level use the maufacturers labels with the actual formula on the bucket. Thats how its done at IBG and here at JNJ

The biggest thing you can do to keep ink areas clean is to wipe any ink of anything it doesn't belong on.  outside of buckets, handles, ink knife handles, tables, ANYTHING.

clean as you go is the best method, period.

The bulk of these quarts are custom mixed colors, formulas on the reverse side.

Before our plastisol or waterbase quarts are re shelved they are remixed and cleaned. this is a requirement. And checked again befor a color is brought to the production floor. Our ink tech is anal about cleanliness and total organization.

We're going through the same battle right now Gilligan, one thing we're doing is an idea I think I stole from someone here, small "scrape sticks" in the 1 gallon buckets so people don't scrape the ink off against the bucket sides. We're also outlawing resting the ink scoops on the lids too.
