Cleaning Recommendations
Tips for cleaning Jorlink's Distributed IPI Plastic materials:
1. As a general rule, IPI recommends using mild soap and water whenever possible.
2. Test a piece of scrap or small area of the material before cleaning entire piece.
3. Use only soft cloths or sponges for cleaning. Do NOT use Brillo®/S.O.S.® pads or steel wool.
4. Use a Q-Tip® to clean small areas.
5. Rinse with warm water.
6. Ultrasonic cleaning is NOT RECOMMENDED for any IPI material.
7. To remove dust from engraved areas, try compressed air before any solvent cleaner.
8. Cleaners with abrasives, such as Comet® brand cleaner, are not recommended.
Some plastic materials such as Red on White are difficult to laser engrave because of the nature of laser heat
and the pigmentation bonding to the bottom lawyer; if the above recommendation fails try the following tips.
IPI Plastics cleaning tips:
Tip # 1: We recommend straight rubbing alcohol, after you should wipe off with damp soft cloth and wipe dry.
Tip # 2: Engrave from the bottom –up less residue, and the laser could be too hot, check setting. Our GCC
Print Driver as other drivers has option of PRINTING from Bottom to Top.
Tip #3: If the above tips do not work, you may need to attempt engraving a second pass on the material to
completely remove the pigments.
