Introduction of High-Definition Ink (high-quality, high-definition screen ink)

1. Excellent physical properties of High Definition ink realizes high quality solid printing.

1. High Definition ink realizes high quality solid printing together with thin lines.

The High Definition ink made it possible to print a fine line of 100 µm line and space and a gradation of 100µm dot diameter by using the conventional decorating polyester stencil.

The physical properties of the High Definition ink that reproduces the fine design of this 100µm level also exerts power to realize a uniform and rich solid without unevenness.

Furthermore, this solid printing enables high-quality design because it is compatible with fine outline printing and sharp cutting line of the printed boundary line.

2. Solving the problem of unevenness of metallic ink and pearl ink

Conventionally, in the ink to which a filler (a filling material for imparting functionality) is added such as metallic ink or pearl ink , the density or orientation of the filler changes due to a change in ink physical properties immediately after printing and dripping of ink from the squeegee. There was a case that unevenness occurred in the coating film.

The problem of this unevenness occurred similarly even with the ink which added the filler which adjusts the optical properties, such as mat ink and anti-glare ink.

However, the physical phenomenon that causes unevenness is suppressed by its excellent ink property, the High Definition ink realizes a uniform and beautiful solid image without unevenness even in the functional ink to which the filler is added.

2. Introduction of examples

1. Comparative Example of Pearl Ink

This is an example of comparative printing of ink with filler (pearl powder) added to transparent color.

Conventional Ink	Unevenness is occurring in part.
High Definition Ink	Uniform printed ink layer without unevenness.

2. High Definition ink realizes both thick black solid and uniform matt feeling.

High Definition ink gives optical function such as matte and anti-glare to transparent color, and it can also be used as overcoat.

The following is an example of printing a matte clear of High Definition ink on black High Definition ink, but a uniform coating without unevenness is realized.
