Automated Blanket Cleaner wash for Heidelberg DI

[k_graham]

I have been using Varn Pronto in the automated blanket washers of my Heidelberg DI as that was the recommendation of the Presstek installer several years ago. I don't think this is a water miscible product and was thinking something mixed with a bit of water might do a better job of removing paper dust and powder. It seem to me it may be less tedious to dry a wet blanket after the blanket wash than wiping a dry blanket with more solvent to get rid of powder and paper dust that weren't removed in the wash when running uncoated papers.

Thanks,

Ken

varn v120 is water misible and is easy on seals and rollers.

Varn A230 was a good product to use. It might be the same as Varn 120. It is water miscible. From my recollection Pronto was used on the Quickmaster/Printmaster lines of 1 and 2 color configuration. Pronto was quick drying and not recommended for the DI blanket washer.
