Diversification is fast becoming the “power word” of the industry. It used to be that your business was identified by its specialty — screen printing, embroidery, transfers, engraving, etc. But the new reality is that many shops are losing revenue opportunities because they can’t handle all their clients’ needs, which may include apparel, signage, awards, promotional products and more.

Screen Stain & Haze Removal | Screen Printing Guide

Using dirty, stained screens can lead to low quality prints and expensive stencil breakdown. To help you get the cleanest screen possible, CPS manufactures a complete range of haze removers to cover all your screen cleaning needs.
Screen stains can be caused by dried-in inks, fused (locked-in) stencils and/or Diazo stains.
