Conductive Ink: How to Screen Print a Conductive Pattern on a T-Shirt. Pt 3: Clean-up!

🎬 Title: Conductive Ink: How to Screen Print a Conductive Pattern on a T-Shirt. Pt 3: Clean-up!

🔍 Description: Welcome to NovaCentrix! In this 4:34 video, Dr. Vahid Akhavan demonstrates the proper way to clean a screen print screen after use of a conductive ink. Conductive inks, especially those using particles such as flakes and/or nanoparticles, can be a challenge to the useability of the screen if not removed properly.
NovaCentrix also offers a screen-print kit well suited for use with our Metalon(R) conductive inks, so you can get started right away with using these inks on your own project. The kit can be found here: https://www.novacentrix.com/product/s...

🔥 Key Highlights:
• Ink and silver reclamation: Conductive ink, especially silver-based ink, can be expensive. Vahid shows us how to reclaim the excess ink and silver if that is an option for you. Don’t forget to wear gloves!
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is helpful: Spraying IPA on the screen and letting it sit can help loosen the ink. Don’t use water initially even though the ink is water-based, as it can clog the screen openings.
• After the IPA, use soapy water then clean water: Once the screen is dry it can be reused.

🌟 Why Watch? Cleaning the screen-print screen correctly is crucial for getting long lie from it. Attempting to clean it incorrectly can lead to clogging and permanent damage. Learn from the mistakes we have made over the years!
