I think my picture was too messed up and that's why this product did not work well for me, I followed the instructions, and it did took some spots off like 3% overall.

Works great on older prints in preparation for scanning. Don't try it on news prints. My experience with newly printed prints that are dry the PEC-12 will remove the ink/s.

Bought this product with the accompanying cleaning cloths worked great to clean off very old slides of fingerprints, dust, etc.

I have thousands of negatives and slides, filed in sleeved polyethylene sheets, in 3-ring binders, going back into the 1960's. I am in the process of scanning as many as I can, at high resolution and 16-bit color. But removing the dust, dirt, smudges, and even fungi on old color negatives, is daunting. So I am working my way though all available cleaning processes, from solvents, to brushes, to electrostatic zapping. PEC-12 is a mixture of methanol and n-butyl acetate. This combination is flammable and moderately toxic, but it evaporates quickly and without leaving a residue. The jury is still out on whether PEC-12 will be the best solution for any of these problems.

Very nice to work with but you need the right cloth.

As a digital photo restoration artist, I do hundreds of restorations with images dating back to the 1800's. As you might expect, some are in pretty bad condition, ink smudges, surface dirt and grime, ball point ink somebody writing directly on the picture. I was spending countless hours "digitally cleaning these up before I got to the "real work" with the important part of the images themselves. I heard about PEC-12 but was very skeptical. I could not afford to ruin one-of-a-kind precious images. I cautiously tried it on corners of images to test the type of emulsion to be sure there would be no damage. I then carefully "clean up" the images BEFORE scanning anything. Hours saved in digital restoration time by having cleaner and therefore, sharper, images to deal with. It is now part of my digital restoration workflow. Easy to use and can count on PEC-12 to get "more perfect" originals every time.

This product is a bit overpriced anywhere you can purchase it. But, it does the job, and Adorama had it in stock and at about the best price.

I used this product to clean some old WWII era black and white prints. It removed ink from one photo and gunk from another without damaging or changing the quality of the photo. The bottle size is a little small and would be nice to have something with twice the volume but that is the only complaint I have.

Terrific product. Although I use it more for non-film uses. Cleans sharpie marker off non-porous surfaces completely. Removes adhesives and other goo that Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Methanol, Ethanol, mineral spirits and Isopropyl Alcohol will not. A pretty good film cleaner also.

Good cleaner for old slides I'm scanning, but difficult to apply in the small quantities needed. It is not easy to remove when you get too much on the slide.

Used gently with PEC PADS cleans film/slides and leaves little or no residue.
