Plate processors: Use ABC/ALLIED A-Gum 14 Be diluted 1 part
gum to 1 part water.
On plate by hand: Pour a liberal amount of gum onto a damp
sponge or shop towel, and wipe evenly over the entire plate for
storage. Dilute if necessary.
On metal metering rollers: Clean build up ink of the metering
roller, pour gum onto a clean sponge or shop towel and wipe
metering roller with a side-to-side motion until entire roller has

a water attractive metering roller.
