HOW TO USE
- Ink is supplied in ready-to-use condition. Stir well before use.
- Add 41-00 REDUCER up to 10%, if necessary.
- Standard curing conditions: (These conditions change depending on the substrate.)
One metal halide lamp 120W/cm, Distance from focus : 10cm
Conveyor speed : 10m/min (Integral light : approx. 250mJ/cm²) - Mesh : 300-350 meshes/inch, Thickness of sol : <10 microns
PRECAUTIONS
- Skin irritation(P.I.I.) of each color is low(under 2.0). However, it is advised to avoid skin contact. In case of skin contact, please wash with soap and water immediately.
- Store the ink in a cool and dark place. Stir occasionally to keep stability when the ink is stored for a long time.
- Hard ink film is the characteristics of GA 41 SERIES. When flexible ink film is required, use RC PF 42 SERIES, RC VX 47 SERIES or RC M 47 SERIES
- Please refer to MSDS before use.
- Be sure to do trial print before commercial run to confirm that the product fits the purposes.
