Franmar One Step Clear™ Ink + Emulsion Remover 1-Gallon is a concentrated screen reclaiming solution formulated for use in dip tanks to clean textile ink and emulsion from screens in one simple step. By combining ink and emulsion removal into a single process, One Step Clear helps streamline regular screen cleaning and reclaiming.
One Step Clear removes traditional plastisol inks and UV inks along with emulsion. Screens soak in the solution for a recommended 3–5 minutes before being transferred to a washout booth and rinsed with clean, pressurized water. Soaking times may increase as the solution ages.
For dip tank use, dilute One Step Clear at a 6:1 ratio of six parts water to one part concentrate. Remove tape and excess ink from the screen before submerging it in the solution. After soaking, remove the screen and thoroughly rinse it with clean, pressurized water.
One Step Clear is designed for extended use in a dip tank and can last up to six months or clean approximately 300–600 screens before the solution needs to be replaced. When replacement is necessary, Franmar Neutralizer Powder can be mixed into the solution to change its pH for safe drain disposal.
The 1-gallon size provides a convenient quantity of One Step Clear concentrate for screen printing shops incorporating dip tank cleaning into their reclaiming process. Its concentrated 6:1 dilution, combined ink and emulsion removal, and short recommended soaking time provide an efficient approach to screen reclaiming.

Q: What kinds of emulsions are recommended for use with Franmar cleaners?
A: Most emulsions will work with Franmar's line of cleaners. Keep in mind that Franmar's environmentally friendly cleaners require the use of water during the clean-up process, so having an emulsion with some water resistantce is important.
Q: Franmar cleaners are softening my emulsion. Why?
A: One posible cause for this is that the emulsion is not fully cured. Another possibility is that it's not actually the cleaner softening the emulsion, but the water that is used to rinse the screen. The emulsion used needs to have some water resistance to it.
