microPrint has developed a new pad printing ink cup cleaning system that doesn’t require the use of flammable cleaning agents and this innovative ecoCLEANER can separate the inks components from the water based cleaning agent and these dried ink components (that were broken down at the sub-particle level) can be safely disposed of as a dried powder.  This microPrint technology will revolutionize the way industrial pad printing companies clean their ink cups and cliché holders.  No unpleasant odors and very little waste as the cleaning agent can be reused again and again.
