## Caption

We are often asked about how we clean our equipment in our print shop after letterpress printing. We use 1K kerosene as a solvent to clean the ink off of the press, letterpress cuts, and type. 

In this video, Jared demonstrates cleaning the 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. This was after a press run using purple oil base ink to print some greeting cards.
