We show a lot of letterpress printing in our videos but not a lot of the clean up. We normally use 1K kerosene as a solvent but this video is different, because we get a lot of inquiries from viewers about cleaning with products like Grip Clean (gripclean).
In this video, Jared shows cleaning the 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press using one Grip Clean hand wipe. This was after a press run using blue rubber base ink. Grip Clean also helps keep our hands clean in our print shop exhibit. It normally takes about 3 minutes to clean the press.
