Description
Professional Plastisol Press Wash with Cherry Scent
Easiway 842 has been a screen printing shop staple for decades. Its cherry scent is immediately recognizable in print shops across the country — not a superficial addition, but a deliberate formulation choice that reduces the harsh chemical odor typically associated with press wash while delivering fast, effective plastisol ink removal.
Fast Plastisol Removal
Quickly breaks down and removes plastisol ink from screen mesh, squeegees, flood bars, and press surfaces. Designed for the speed demands of production screen printing.
Cherry Scent
The distinctive cherry formulation significantly reduces the harsh odor associated with standard press washes. Makes for a more tolerable working environment during long production runs.
On-Press & Screen Use
Works both as an on-press cleaner during production and as a pre-reclaim screen cleaner after production runs.
Drum Availability
Available from quart through full 55-gallon drum for shops of all sizes, from small manual operations to large automated press facilities.
