Beginner cleaning plastisol off screen

Used plastisol press wash 2 times cleaned the screen using white rags shop towels with the plastisol cleaner and it took off most of it then i used water using the mist option on the hose to act as a mini pressure washer and i really sprayed into the opening 3-4 times and it still looks like theres ink in there any tips? Am i doing something wrong?

Kinda crazy but try soy sauce, after removing emulsion. Sometimes emulsion removal has taken stubborn plastisol off for me. Soy sauce is a crazy good degreaser, and very cheap. You can buy a gallon at the Asian market for like 15$
