If you used water soluble ink; clean it with water. If you used an oil based ink; clean it with vegetable oil or what ever you use to clean an oil based ink.

The ink will stain the foam, but that won't affect your future printing process.

Especially important is to clean the roller and try not to let any ink dry on it or the 'bump' will transfer from the roller to the print surface.

PS: I'm glad to hear that so many people will be able to use this method!

Wonderful to watch. Its amazing that the foam does not go back to being flat and with the image lost...or does it, eventually? I'll just have to experiment.
