I would like to find out what is one of the most common cleaning solvents used in screen printers. By this, I mean which solvent is used in the solvent tanks to clean under stencil in DEK & MPM's etc. Please, no sales guys, only real users. Cheers,

Do Proper underneath stencil cleaning. if the cleaning not effective, check Vaccuum section of the printer machine. Else change the Wipe roll. Trying out with other cleaning solvent (dedicated to stencil cleaner) also improve this issues.

You are correct in your assessment that no-clean pastes are difficult to clean. I understand why you would need to clean lots of stencils, but why would you need to clean "high volumes" of PCB's? If you are planning on cleaning high volumes of PCB'
