== After exposing == Use the shower head to make both sides of the screen wet and rinse from the inside of the screen. Do this until you washed away all of the non exposed emulsion, and you can see through it. == Wash off ink after printing == Use the shower head to rinse the inside of the screen to wash off most of the ink. Then use a sponge and soap to firmly scrub all the left over ink off the screen on both sides and from the inside of the frame, then rinse again with water. == Clean emulsion off the screen == Wash the ink off (as above) and apply emulsion stripper with a brush to both sides of the screen. Make circles with the brush and work it in very thoroughly. Switch on the compressor and use the power washer to blast the emulsion out off the screen. Keep the head at a close distance to the screen (1cm) to get everything off and not get wet yourself. Apply soap to the screen and wash it in on booth sides with the sponge. Then use the power washer with the compressor on at close distance again to clean out any left over inks. == Deep cleaning (anti ghost) *''Station Staff Only''* == '''Wear protective clothes, gloves and glasses.''' Apply anti-ghost gel with a scoop coater to a dry screen on one side of the screen let the anti-ghost gel dry for 15 minutes (not longer) avoid that the screens come in contact with water (let them dry outside the washing booth). Use the power washer with the compressor switched on. Start at the bottom of the screen and work to the top and blast out everything. Turn the screen around and take out what's left in the screen. Rinse the screen with the shower head to wash off any left over anti-ghost gel before you place the screen back in the rack.
