That's fair. But what i'm trying to say that I have never heard anyone complaining about using their press to remove gum (which isn't as harmless as many people think). Same with alcohol (very agressive). BTW. We print alcohol-free.
And although we have been using these plates for only 2 months, we have not had any problems with the plates polluting the press... Most of the debris from the plates is removed on the paper anyway (on the first 20 prints or so).
