5. What about a press wash?
Here is a list of recommended Press Washes:
• Varn EC Wash
• Ultrachem Prima Wash
• Varn News 75 Wash
• printcom® wash 202B
• Sun Chemicals SUN WASH U H8830A
Note: The press wash process requires some harsh chemicals and if you plan to reuse a plate, you will
need to REMOVE the plate prior to washing down a press
6. What type of Ink should I use?
Standard Press inks are compatible with Epson DirectPlate Aluminum plates. Highly pigmented inks keep
the amount of transferred ink at a low level and decrease the scumming effect. For optimum printing
quality, ink should not be mixed with printing oil, or any other printing agents that tend to decrease the
tackiness.
7. What presses and plate sizes are supported by Epson DirectPlate?
Note: If you do not see your plate size or Press listed above, contact your Authorized Epson Computer to
Plate Reseller.
