How many screens do you get out of a gallon of 701?

[Gilligan]

My new guys blew through our last gallon of 701.

I'm just looking to give them an idea of how much most shops use in comparison.

Sorry, easiway 701 ink degradent.

[RICK STEFANICK]

We get about 800-900 out of a 5.

Gilley that really depends on the user, had a guy come in and clean for us and he used a whole gal on 40 screens, I was like whatttttttttt dam!!!!!, but when I clean I get something like hundred or more per gal, to be fair I'm cleaning 20 x 24 and 20 x 28 size screens

[Gilligan]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying... They went through a gallon in like 20-30 screens!

They are carding off the ink on the screen first and not using it to dissolve all the ink left on the screen, right?

Just saying

Yeah, that was stressed to them.  The more ink they get off the easier to clean.

I've left a little more ink on a screen once so they could see the difference.

I'll have to see how they are doing though.

We use a spray bottle and mist it on with very light pressure on the trigger so not to blow it through. 2 to 3 pumps is plenty. We use it full strength. A gallon last hundreds of screens.

So, anyone using it in dip tanks or a recirculating system? Does it go further?

I use supra in my tank and 701 basically as a dehaze. Couple of sprays per side. Can do a lot of screens per gallon, but no clue how many. Definitely more than 40...lol

You doing a one step dip tank?  Ink and emulsion?  Just carding off ink or wiping it out with a rag or something?

.....I'm a big fan of Easiway products. Mostly, because they are effective and competitively priced.
My dip-tank started leaking and I called them to order a new tank.... they offered to send a bulkhead style repair valve (for free) with instructions how to cut out the old valve (which was plastic welded in). The replacement valve worked perfect and saved me $150

Also, because they are located in my home state (Minnesota). They have a modest size operation located in the handsome small town of Delano,MN.
The South fork of the Crow river runs right thru the center of town and it seems like a great place to live and raise a family (20 miles west of Minneapolis).
I wish them continued success in all they do. Honest, nice people working there.

Nice. I'm WI and didnt know their operation was so close. Lived in MN for 5 years. Good Folk. I've always liked the Envirohaze and find it to be the most effective dehazer I've used. That's all I've used from them. How does their reclaimer compare to Kiwo concentrate (if anyone's ever used it)? I used to use Franmar but since trying a Kiwo sample reclaiming is night and day.

Yes. Card off ink (and make sure the last print stroke on press clears the image area). Drop in the supra. Pressure wash off. Spray 701. Scrub. Rinse. Rack.

I pretty much copied what Evo suggested on the forums and while back and it works great. My supra tank lasts a long time, but I'm still at like 50 screens a week typically (lots of 1 to 3 color jobs).
