Preparing the Plate for Press

To reduce toning, you may need to prepare plates for printing using
XANTÉ Myriad 2 plate cleaner. Prepare plates as follows:
1. Shake plate cleaner well.
2. Place the plate on a clean, smooth surface.
3. Spray the cleaning solution directly on the plate, keeping the
spray nozzle approximately 10 to 12 inches from the surface.
4. Wipe plate with even, moderate pressure to coat completely.
5. Rinse the plate with water or fountain solution.
To clean a plate on the printing press, use the following steps:

2. Secure the plate directly to the plate cylinder.
3. Spray the cleaning solution onto a 4 x 4 inch cotton square.
