Printer Ink Cleaner

Those who have re-inked larger printer ribbons know that it is almost impossible to use re-inking equipment without getting ink on one or more fingers. Rod Gowen, RMG Enterprises, recommends using WD 4 0 lubricant as a hand cleaner.

Recently I had re-inked a 17+ yd ribbon for my Epson printer but neglected to clean up after the operation. So seeing this “uncleaned” equipment on my work bench I proceeded to drain the plastic ink holder and in the process really blackened several fingers. The WD 40 was out of reach but I had a tube of hand cleaner near by used to clean up after working on the car. Being the experimental type I squirted a small amount of GO-JO hand cleaner on the fingers and spread it around as it liquified. Wiping with a paper towel left my hands CLEAN. Further washing with detergent and water left my hands “dainty clean” and spotless!
