Print Scraper

To pry prints off the aluminum plate w/ Kapton tape, I bought an Allway Bent scraper for $4 at Home Depot:

I chose it because it was cheap, hefty and made with excellent steel I knew I could sharpen at home. It even came pre-beveled, less work for me!

 

A little time on my sharpening stone, and I got it sharp enough to cut paper. Slides right under the first layer, and with the bend there's plenty of leverage. It's a much better wedge than a chisel (shallower angle) and also much cheaper.
