If you mean you have ink stains (ghosting) on your screen, you should use a de-hazer/haze remover such as ones provided by Catspit's partners. Along with a pressure washer. If you're hazing issues wiping away the ink before removing the emulsion, use an ink remover/degradent which are make to breakdown and remove the ink. Again, you can get them from a Catspit partner and remember if you use the Catspit code you will receive a discount. Click the Catspit logo on the top left corner. Then on the left of that page click print supplies. Happy shopping and good luck.
