Abstract: A blanket and roller wash for removing ink from printing press components. The blanket and roller wash has a very low, substantially zero percent, emmision of volatile organic compounds. The blanket and roller wash is a two-component composition containing a nonionic surfactant and a monobasic fatty acid having 12 to 20 carbon atoms or a three-component composition containing a saturated hydrocarbon oil of low viscosity in addition to the nonionic surfactant and the fatty acid. The invention further relates to methods of removing ink from printing rollers and blankets.
