Washing your plate is important!

I find that a spritz of Dawn Powerwash dish detergent and a sponge with warm (or hot) water does miracles. Any dish detergent would work - I prefer Dawnnbrand. First time I got a good taste of bed adhesion trouble was when I was eating “Swedish Fish” candies while waiting for a print to finish. I took the finished print off, man-handled the plate a little with that oily residue on my fingers, replaced the plate, and started another print. That second print was a disaster. Dish detergent and water - there’s no need to make it more complicated than that.
