Ink
100 Series SUPER GLOSS
Properties
Excellent gloss. Alcohol resistance. Weathering resistance.
INTRODUCTIONS
100 SERIES SUPER GLOSS INK forms glossy and tough ink film that has excellent physical properties such as alcohol resistance.
APPLICATIONS
Acryl plate, ABS(primed/unprimed), rigid vinyl, vinyl stickers, glossy paper, coated paper.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Good printability. Ink film is glossy with good levelling.
- Excellent adhesion
- Weathering resistance is rather good.
- Excellent resistance to oil, alcohol, gasoline and chemicals.
- Suitable for vacuum-forming.
- Dried ink film is tough and resistant to scratch.
HOW TO USE
Dilute the ink with VAC THINNER (fast drying, standard drying, slow drying). VAC RETARDER is recommended to make the drying slower.
DRYING
- Substrate : Acryl plate. Tack free : Approx.15 min.(20°C)(68°F), Approx.3 min.(60°C)(140°F)
- Complete drying : Approx.90 min.(20°C)(68°F), Approx.5 min.(60°C)(140°F)
STENCIL & WASHING UP
Use photo-stencil. Use VINYL CLEANING THINNER.
LIGHTFASTNESS
5-8 grades (Please refer to lightfastness chart)
COLOR RANGE
Standard 22 colors, EXO(extra opaque) 5 colors, matting agent.
PRECAUTIONS
- 100 SERIES SUPER GLOSS INK forms tough ink film. If plural hits are done on vinyl stickers, the substrate may curl up. Use 3500 SERIES EXG INK which is more flexible than 100 SERIES.
- 100 SERIES SUPER GLOSS INK is not suitable for styrol, AS and noryl. Good adhesion cannot be obtained.
- Although weathering resistance of SUPER GLOSS INK is rather good, 3500 SERIES EXG INK is recommended when long-life weathering resistance is required. Weathering resistance can be made even better by using JELCON SERIES VS INK(UV cutting clear ink) together with 3500 SERIES.
- Please refer to MSDS before use.
- Be sure to do trial print before commercial run to confirm that the product fits the purposes.
