Flood bars, squeegees after printing
« on: November 19, 2014, 12:46:36 AM »
What do you do with your flood bars and squeegees after printing?
We lay they on a table with ink on them because we often use the same colors so they don't get cleaned between jobs.
I think they should be cleaned, my printers think it's a waste of time.
I'd like to know what other printers are doing.

White and black we hardly ever clean.
All other colors are being cleaned right after the job is done.
I have to say though that we have not enough squeegees and floodbars.On the other hand if we had more there would probably complacency creeping in and they would be left uncleaned for a while.

Some shops do what Maxie does others cannot. Still have that Bladerunner for a good home!
