Default How Do You Clean DyeSub Ink Off Telflon?

Sometimes when I DyeSub something edge to edge, the DyeSub ink will get on the Teflon sheet and/or pillow. Is there a chemical or easy way to get it off so that it does not transfer to the next item?

thanks,
rusty

at my shop (which is a sign shop) we always have squirt bottles that are half water and half rubbing alcohol. I just squirt the teflon sheet with that.. and wipe with paper towel.. it cleans right off..

That was a greqt question Rusty. I was having the same problem. I just washed it with regular soap and water. I will try the half wate half alcohol method.

I use 90% isipropyl alchol and it works great. You can get this at any drug or discount chain in the first aid aisle.
