Default removing accidental ink splodges (uk)

Since starting my screen printing business I have basically made no money due to the fact that I cannot for the life in me work without getting finger prints on shirts. The amount of wasted shirts piling up is becoming absolutely rediculous.

I know that C60 spray is the answer but I am struggling to find any in the UK and no internatianal companys will ship it here.

If anybody has any other suggestions that aren't going to break my bank and are available in the UK... PLEASE HELP!

there is a wipe available(similar to baby wipes) for paint removal, we get them at our local auto parts store. Keep a bottle handy when printing and when you get ink on your fingers just wipe off. We have a shoot out gun but have found that preventing ink splodges is much easier and less time consuming than removal.

A spot cleaning gun is a piece of equipment just as essential as an exposure unit, washout booth, dryer, print press, stir stick, squeegee, etc.

Smudges and pin holes happen, it's a normal part of the game.

i was having this problem until i realised baby wipes were the answer, i buy the cheap £1 morrisons own brand (80 wipes)...just as good as the branded ones in my opinion.
