    Hello all
    I found this paste in the place where I work a while ago
    Is it intended for cleaning the machine's rollers?
    Is it intended to lighten the pores of ink rollers?
    I used this paste. I used to put some paste on the ink rollers, run the machine for 10 minutes, and then wash the machine by washing the cylinders.
    There are those who said that I leave this paste on the machine for a whole day and then wash it from the machine with ink cylinder cleaner.
    I want to know the correct way to use it
    The best way to benefit from it

    If you are using bottcher febo clean it is safe to do either way if not read directions carefully.so paste will not dry on rollers

    If I left it for a whole day, would it be better?

    No mate. This is cleaning paste mostly used for quick colour change. Put it on the rollers, let it run on slow speed (just about 7000) for couple of minutes, then wash it out with plenty of water, then wash the rollers at your normal programme.
    More than this you need decalcifying gel (I can recommend botther calciumfix)

    Unfortunately, the butther calciumfix product is not available in my country
    But there are those who said that I should leave this paste on the ink rollers for a day and then wash the ink rollers with a washing solution.
    To make cleaning more efficient

    Will there be any damage if the DDS rollers are washed with paste?
