Nazdar's 4200 series UV screen ink incorporates the newest formulation technology to optimize cure speed, adhesion range, ink film flexibility, print speed, and image quality. 4200 Series represents a breakthrough in providing a competitive, high quality ink that withstands some of the toughest finishing and shipping requirements in the graphics market, UV screen ink has been formulated for indoor and short-term outdoor performance on a wide range of substrates including styrene, coated paper and corrugated polypropylene substrates.
- Substrate coated paper/board, styrene, treated fluted polypropylene, treated polyester, most rigid and flexible vinyl, static cling vinyl, most rigid and flexible treated, polyethylene, most rigid and flexible treated polypropylene
- Use direct emulsions and capillary films which are solvent resistant and UV compatible
- 4200 Series is formulated to be press ready
- Thoroughly mix the ink prior to printing
- Improper mixing can lead to inconsistent color and ink performance
- Lower temperatures increase the ink viscosity, impairing flow and increasing film thickness
- Elevated temperatures lower the ink viscosity, reducing print definition and film thickness
- Pretest to determine optimum printing parameters for a particular set of ink, substrate, screen, press, and curing variables/conditions
- The ink can be affected by stray UV light
- Be aware of skylights, windows and overhead lights curing the ink in the screen; light filters are recommended
- Leaving a container uncovered may result in the ink’s surface forming a "skin", caused by reaction with ambient lighting
- Keep containers covered
