I tested putting my printsheet in the dishwasher - sh.itjust.works

So, because I’m a lazy fuck with an extra print sheet, I decided to go against the advice on the internet, and test how my print sheet would handle my dishwasher. It endured the “extra power” programme just fine, as I had some pots and pans that needed a thorough clean. I threw in a tablet of a reasonably OK brand of dish washer soap. I figured the print sheet was built to handle temperatures hotter than what my dish washer would cause, so that wasn’t really much of a concern. The water where I live is extremely soft, so I didn’t have to worry about any calcium or the like. I’m thinking that the dish washer soap is the main concern, as I’m sure some might leave a small residue to ensure nice clean-looking glassware, but I have not found this to be an issue in my case. Prints work as well as they did after handwashing the print sheets, so all in all, I’d say it was a success in my case. I will continue to clean this one particular print sheet in the dishwasher and see if a difference becomes apparent over time. Note: I learned recently, thanks to Technology Connections, that american dish washers are supposed to be connected to hot water. This is not the case here, and I suspect the ability to also rinse with cold water help the print sheet clean up nicely.
