8900 Series SuperSet Thermo-Set Screen Ink is a high solids, high gloss solvent-based screen ink. A single component, cross linked product, 8900 Series is formulated for printing on pre-coated metal surfaces. Properly cured, 8900 Series exhibits excellent resistance to many solvents, chemicals, humidity and abrasion. 8900 Series is specifically designed to provide maximum flexibility and intercoat adhesion.
- Substrates pre-coated metal substrates, coatings include enamel, polyester, acrylic, vinyl and epoxy
- Solvent resistant direct emulsions and capillary films
- To achieve proper ink flow, 8900 Series ink may be thinned
- Add only enough ink to the screen to be able to print for 5-10 minutes
- Add additional ink in small increments throughout the print run to maintain screen stability
- Thoroughly mix the inks prior to printing
- Lower temperatures increase the ink viscosity, impairing both flow and drying
- Elevated temperatures lower the ink viscosity, reducing print definition, film thickness and opacity
- Pretest to determine optimum printing performance for a particular set of ink, substrate, screen, press, and drying variables/conditions
