7.5 CLEANING AND STORING PLATES

CLEANING PLATES
Static electricity on the plates surface, attracts paper residue from packaging, airborne dust
and dirt. Printing on such plates without cleaning them first, may cause poor print results and
may even scratch the print head.
1) Remove any eventual burr you may find on the plate edges.
2) Clean both sides of the plate. Use a soft, damp cloth and then thoroughly wrung out to
wipe away finger prints and grease. Make sure the plate is completely dry before loading it in
the printer.
STORING PLATES
The way plates are stored effects their surface and the print quality.
