Black

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: Card, paper, wood, vinyls (PVC), polystyrene, ABS, acrylics, butyrates, polycarbonates, primed metal, Tyvek, and top-coated polyester, etc..

FINISH: Dries to a gloss finish.

OPACITY: This ink is available in opaque, transparent, and fluorescent colors.

DRYING TIME: GP Series dries by evaporation. Prints normally air dry within 15 to 30 minutes, or 20 to 45 seconds in a jet air dryer. Overprints require slightly longer drying time. Insure adequate air circulation when rack drying.

COVERAGE: Approximately 1500-2000 sq. ft./gal. using a 230 monofilament fabric, and a sharp squeegee on a non-absorbent surface. Thinning or extending will increase mileage, but reduce the ink opacity.

SCREEN FABRIC: All fabrics are suitable.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Direct and indirect photostencils, or water-soluble knife-cut stencils are suitable.

MODIFIERS: Ink may be used straight from can, but 5-15% thinning is recommended with GP-1800 thinner for optimum printing. For mixing metallic powders use GP-1700. To improve edge definition add a small amount of GP-1730 clear base. Excessive amount could effect outdoor durability.

RETARDER: Under hot and dry conditions, use GP-1820 Slow Thinner.

ADHESION: Excellent on substrates listed in uses. Always test print before production.

WASHUP: Screen cleans with GP-1840, SYS-1925 or biodegradable solvents 2500 or 2510 gel.
