  • Non-caustic formula (designed not to damage printGRIP) 
  • Available in gallon and quart sizes 
  • Ideal for screen‑printing shops using printGRIP pallet adhesive alternatives

Long Description

1. Key Benefits & Value to Customers

When using printGRIP as a reusable pallet adhesive alternative, occasional ink transfer (especially from thin or tri-blend fabrics) or “ghosting” can occur. The printGRIP Ink Remover is formulated to address this challenge without damaging the adhesive surface. Unlike harsh solvents or general-purpose cleaners, this solution targets ink deposits while preserving the longevity and performance of printGRIP pads.

By integrating this cleaner into your maintenance routine:

  • You protect the integrity and tack of the printGRIP pad
  • You reduce downtime since cleaning becomes faster, safer, and more reliable
  • You minimize waste and avoid aggressive chemical damage that could shorten the pad’s useful life


2. Detailed Product Capabilities


  • Ink stain removal without surface damage

According to product specs from Chromaline / printGRIP, this cleaner is “specially designed” to remove ink stains “without damaging the printGRIP surface”. The instructions: spray or brush the cleaner on the stained area, scrub with a stiff brush, then rinse with water. 

  • Non-caustic formula

The cleaner is labeled non-caustic, meaning it’s gentler than many industrial solvents. 

  • Safe for repeated use

Because the formula is mild, it can be used regularly (as needed) to maintain printGRIP surfaces without degrading tack prematurely.

  • Multiple sizes available

The product is sold in quart and gallon formats. 

  • Compatibility with all inks

According to printGRIP’s FAQ materials, the Ink Remover works with plastisol, water-based, and silicone inks to clear ink deposits on the printGRIP surface. 

  • Integrates into existing cleaning workflows

The application process is simple (spray/brush + scrub + rinse), making it easy to adopt without extra machinery or major operator training.

3. Typical Applications & Industries

This product is tailor-made for screen printing / garment printing shops that use printGRIP adhesive alternatives on their pallets. Specifically:

  • Shops using printGRIP pads on screen‑printing presses
  • Facilities transitioning from adhesive sprays / glues to reusable systems
  • Shops handling high volumes, where efficient maintenance matters
  • Studios printing thin fabrics (tri-blends, sheers) or high-detail jobs that risk ink bleed-through

Where ink lightly transfers or ghosting occurs, this cleaner helps restore pristine tack areas so your printGRIP pad continues performing optimally.

4. Unique Selling Points (USPs)


  • Brand-matched formula: designed specifically for printGRIP surfaces (versus generic cleaning solvents)
  • Non-damaging: safe to use without degrading the tack or structure of the pad
  • Simple workflow: spray, scrub, rinse — no extra processing
  • Versatile: works with major garment ink types (plastisol, water‑based, silicone)
  • Available in multiple pack sizes for shops of various scales
  • Cleaner operation: reduces reliance on harsher solvent cleaners and extends pad life


5. Maintenance, Ease of Use & Integration

How to use (recommended procedure):

  1. Identify stained or ghosted areas on the printGRIP pad.
  2. Spray or apply the Ink Remover directly onto the stained zone. 
  3. Use a stiff brush or scrub pad to agitate and lift ink residue. 
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water, ensuring all residue is removed.
  5. Let the pad air-dry (water evaporates quickly) or wipe with a lint-free towel.

Frequency:

Use as needed when ink transfer builds up or printed images ghost onto the pad. The pad itself may be used 3–6 months or more under normal conditions.

Integration tips:

  • Clean only the used or stained areas (not the whole pad) to save time and effort. 
  • Use linen or soft scrap garments to “condition” the pad early in life, if the pad is overly tacky initially. 
  • Always follow with a water rinse to remove any solvent traces or residue.
  • For best results, store the pad off the press with its release sheet or protective paper to prevent dust accumulation.

Safety & handling:

While the printGRIP Ink Remover is mild relative to harsh chemicals, precautions are still important. Use in a well-ventilated space, wear protective gloves and eye protection, and avoid ingestion or direct skin contact. (See the Safety Data Sheet below.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Will using printGRIP Ink Remover damage the adhesive tack of the pad?

No — the key advantage of this cleaner is that it is formulated specifically not to degrade or weaken the adhesive surface of the printGRIP pad. According to manufacturer documentation, it “will remove any type of ink without damaging the printGRIP” when used as instructed. That said, avoid over-scrubbing or using highly aggressive solvents in conjunction, as mechanical abrasion or incompatible chemicals (not in the official formula) could cause wear.

How often should I apply printGRIP Ink Remover?

Use it as needed when you notice ink build-up, ghosting, or transfer images forming on the printGRIP pad. Many shops clean only the affected section rather than the full pad to save time. Over-application is unnecessary; regular light cleaning helps maintain optimal pad condition longer.

Does it work for all types of inks (plastisol, water-based, silicone)?

Yes. According to the printGRIP FAQ and product specs, the Ink Remover is compatible with plastisol, water-based, and silicone inks. This means you can trust it across various print jobs and ink systems without needing separate cleaners.

What if the ink is deeply baked / cured onto the pad?

For light to moderate stains or ghost images, the standard procedure (spray, scrub, rinse) works well. However, severely cured or baked-on ink might require repeated applications or a more aggressive treatment (but still one that is safe for the pad). In such cases, consult printGRIP’s technical support or consider replacing only the affected pad section if restoration isn’t effective.

Can I use this cleaner on other surfaces (e.g. adhesives, soft-top, pallets)?

It is formulated specifically for printGRIP pads, so while in some cases it may clean light ink residue elsewhere, results on other adhesives or surfaces are not guaranteed. Using it on other materials may risk weakening adhesives or causing damage, so use caution or test small areas first.

Is the cleaner hazardous / what safety precautions should I take?

Though it’s non-caustic, standard chemical safety still applies: use in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves and eye protection, avoid ingestion, and keep away from ignition sources. The manufacturer recommends rinsing residue thoroughly. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.

Does the cleaner leave a residue that affects print quality?

If properly rinsed, there should be no residual film. The recommended workflow is to rinse thoroughly after scrubbing. Any leftover solvent or residue could reduce tack or transfer to garments, so full removal is essential. The clean formula is designed to not leave interfering film when used correctly.

Which size should I purchase — quart or gallon?

It depends on your shop’s throughput:

  • Quart is ideal for smaller operations or infrequent cleaning.
  • Gallon is more economical for high-volume shops or frequent use.

The cost per volume is typically lower with gallon sizes. Both sizes are offered by authorized distributors.

How should I store the Ink Remover for longest shelf life?

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat or flames. Keep containers well-sealed when not in use. Avoid freezing or extreme temperature cycles. Always follow storage guidelines on the product label or SDS.

What if I can’t source the official printGRIP Ink Remover — are there alternatives?

The printGRIP FAQ suggests: “If printGRIP Ink Remover is not available, use the least aggressive solvent you have in-house, followed by lots of water.” However, only the official formula is guaranteed safe for the pad, so use any alternative with caution and test first in an inconspicuous area.
