Roller Care


Putz Pomade Roller Conditioner

Our California roller wash is safe for modern rubber rollers. Need help? Give us a call!

Solvent pricing is directly related to escalating oil prices, and subject to change without notice. We are not always able to get sufficient quantities of the California Wash as our distributor tells us that with the slowdown in printing that they are not accumulating orders fast enough to keep all items in stock, and thus their restocking is not as frequent as it once was.

We are unable to ship the liquid roller washes across international borders, including Canada, because of restrictions regulating these products. None of the liquid products can be shipped by air within the US. US postal regulations prohibit shipment through the mails. Please take these restrictions into consideration when placing your order.

 
"Varn V230G Wash, for all rollers, 1 gallon"
$46.80
CL92CW
This item can be shipped only by ground and may not be shipped out of the USA. This has an ORM-D hazardous rating for shipping.

This Wash is usually shipped separately in its own box from the balance of your order. There are additional shipping charges as a result and this will not show on the receipt generated when you place an order through this site.

This roller wash may be mixed with water but that is not necessary for use with letterpress. The water is designed to dissolve various water soluble compounds found on offset inking rollers like clay coatings from paper. An offset roller wash, like this replacement for the now discontinued California Wash, is recommended for cleaning synthetic rubber rollers to minimize damage to the rubber from solvents. Use inexpensive solvents like kerosene or paint thinner for all other uses like general washup. Be careful of cleaners that use water. The cost keeps going up even though we ship directly from Varn, the manufacturer.
