This acid-free, non-toxic formula effectively removes stubborn pigment stains while reconditioning the plate's surface to ensure consistent ink transfer, making it ideal for maintaining the longevity of your tools. While it provides excellent cleaning performance, users should note that it is specifically formulated for gel plates and requires a final rinse with mild soap to ensure the surface is ready for the next project.
