Digital UV print

Does anyone know what solvent or cleaner would take an UV print off of aluminum composition material.

I've had luck with 91% IPA and lots of elbow grease. You can also try one of those orange plastic razorblades to peel the ink off.

You'll probably end up with a little ghosting.

Thanks, I'll try it

Blanket wash works well if you know any local printers. No elbow grease needed.

We usually put on some high tac vinyl, and it comes right off when you remove the vinyl. Leaves a bit of ghosting... To which we use methanol to remove.

You could pour some alcohol on it, then use some find or something and cover it so the alcohol doesn't evaporate, it'll eat it away and it'll run off easy.

How well does it work on other substrates like acrylic or other plastics?

Try Simple Green cleaner. I use a 80/20 isopropyl alcohol to Simple Green to clean the table of our flatbed printer, and it really attacks our UV ink.

I've never tried it with those types of material. Mainly just on glass since it's a bit messy to clean up.

Gotcha. I've never used it at all, never worked around offset printers. Was just curious. Thanks!
