Caution
- Checking before production: Adhesion and resistance properties may change due to differences in substrates, processes, printing and drying conditions. Be sure to check the adhesiveness and resistance properties before mass production printing.
- To confirm curability, conduct an alcohol resistance test after printing and heat drying.
- Insufficient drying and excess or deficiency of Catalyst can be checked. Resistance lasts 15 to 20 times immediately after heating, more than 50 times when complete drying.
- Ink shelf life: 24 months from production date, unopened.

FAQ

What is screen printing?
-
Screen printing is a type of stencil printing which uses a technique of duplicating the image from a design made on mesh stencils.
When printing ink goes through the mesh, it transfers the image onto the substrate material. Other than air and water, any substrate materials are printable. Not only flat surfaces, but also curved, specially shaped, and molded products are suitable for screen printing.
