There are a number of �low cost� stencil cleaners available. I am a manufacturer of one but I'll list a variety and let the others provide editorial on which is best. Basically, there are three technologies, manual cleaning (solvents and wipes), ultrasonic cleaning, and spray-in-air cleaning.
For manual cleaning, here is a partial list of suppliers:
Aqueous Technologies (Simple Green Stencil and Misprint Cleaner) www.aqueoustech.com
Microcare (various sprays) www.microcare.com
SmartSonic (440R) www.smartsonic.com
Spray-In-Air Stencil Cleaners:
EMC Global Technologies www.emcgti.com
Austin American Technology www.aat-corp.com
Ultrasonic Stencil Cleaners:
Aqueous Technologies www.aqueoustech.com
SmartSonic www.smartsonic.com
Pressure Products www.pressureproducts.com
Each of the above manufacturers offers a range of low-cost options (below $ 10K). Compare price, effectiveness, environmental impact, safety, and operating expense.
I hope this helps.
