Re: UV Ink removal anyone?

Hi All

Does any UV printer owners know of any fluid that removes UV ink from plastic?

I am constantly running tests and am beginning to amass a lot of pens that will ultimately be thrown away unless I can find a way of removing the ink from them.

Any info would be much appreciated.

If its a over spray IPA helps. but if is solid UV print then only screenwash, but this will ruin your blank...

Hi Ravi

I have a cheap one from China. Serves its purpose of "banging out pens" but I do get a few tests prints etc. I will give it a try thanks :-)

Out of interest how much did you pay for the chinese cheap UV printer? I have just started looking as we will have some funds after the xmas season and this might be an option.
