Amazing New Press Wash February 7, 2008
Update: You can now purchase DELTA Clean Max online at TersusDirect.com. More information is below.
Peter at Tersus Chemical had sent me some samples of their new product Delta Clean Max which is a press wash that has low Volatile Organic Compounds (V.O.C.s) and the scent is not as strong as most commerical blanket washes.
I was happy to get my small sample of Delta Clean Max the other day, and had some printing to do today so I figured I’d give it a try. Currently I am using Varn’s California Wash, which is another low V.O.C. wash. Below is a picture of the ink disk from my C&P Pilot. On the left I used California wash and on the right I used Delta Max wash. After directly applying the chemicals I wipped each side once. The Delta Max did a great job of removing the black ink and only a few more swipes removed the ink completely from the right side of the disk.
I can’t wait for the wash to be on the market, once I get more information from Peter about pricing and distribution I’ll be sure to post about it.
Update: Tersus Chemical is now selling DELTA Clean Max online. For a limited time only, they are selling 1 pint containers for $8 plus shipping. In addition, when you purchase the pint size bottle, you also get a 10% discount on all subsequent orders of gallon quantities or more. They also plan to start selling a 1 gallon container beginning March 2008 for $28.



hey- thanks for the info- on those really long printing days I feel like the fumes are killing me
I just ordered two pints & can’t wait to try it
best,

Just curious if you switched to using this instead of california wash, now that it is more readily available? Just bought my first press and I am trying to figure out which wash I should use. Thanks,
Courtney

Hi Courtney,
I still have California wash left over but once I get done with it, I am going to start using the bottle of Tersus wash I bought.
Both Tersus and California are great environmentally friendly washes but I’m changing wash for a few reasons, primarily because its cheaper.
If you have any questions about getting setup please feel free to ask.
