Cleaning Method
To clean the imaging plates, follow these steps:
1 Fold a non-abrasive, lint-free wipe or cloth and dampen with a small amount of the solution. Be careful
not to pour the solution directly on the imaging plate. Excessive amounts of the screen cleaner may
damage the imaging plate.
2 Wipe the imaging plate thoroughly dry with a clean, dry, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to remove residual
cleaner. DO NOT LEAVE THE imaging plate TO AIR-DRY. Apply pressure to remove persistent dirt,
if necessary.
