Prepare digital substrates for printing using these products and tips.

Clean substrates before digital printing to prevent dust particles from getting trapped. Contaminates left behind by the masks, oils, and dirt from hands can attach to the substrate and affect print quality.

To ensure best printing results, follow these directions and clean panels before printing.

  1. Remove the masking.
  2. Use Scott Rags Lint Free Roll or Scott All-Purpose Rags.
  3. Rub Novus #1 Plastic Clean & Shine into the substrate using the rags
  4. Clean the panel in one direction (not circular) to remove oils, dirt and residue.
  5. Remove scratches with Novus #2 Fine Scratch Remover 

Your panel is now ready for printing!
