Printing Press Maintenance

Writer's picture: theheatedtheheated

Some screen printers who print on fabric use a spray adhesive to keep the fabric in place while they print. I tried that and found that the spray adhesive smelled terrible and made my floor sticky so I switched to a spreadable adhesive that gets reactivated when cleaned with water called “Table Tac” so that’s what I use. But at a certain point, the adhesive gets too gunked up to keep getting sticky so about once a year I clean it all off and re-apply.

All the gunk. So satisfying. So disgusting.
