INSTRUCTIONS:

NOTE: Read Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Prior To Use

Ink Type SUB is a single component product supplied in paste form. Thinner (if needed) should be thoroughly mixed with the ink prior to using. During printing, the ink viscosity may be adjusted with thinner. A retarder may be added to slow drying rate during printing. ( normally for high room temperatures or multi-color use ) Recommended room temperature 70-78 degrees F. Recommended room humidity 30-50 %

Special Information:

• This product is recommended for sealed cup and open ink well printers.
• Works with all types of cliches and doctor blades
• Prints like traditional solvent-based ink
• On some substrates, the ink tends to migrate from its original artwork form during time. Extensive testing is recommended.

ADDITIVES: (See Additives Chart for more listings)

Thinners:
THINNER B (5 to 20 % by weight) Faster
VD THINNER (5 To 20 % by weight) Medium
THINNER BGA (5 To 20 % by weight) Slower

Retarder:
TPD RETARDER (1 To 3 % by weight)

DRYING & CURING: (See Ink Drying & Curing Times Chart )
Ink TYPE SUB printed parts require heat curing, generally for three to five minutes at a temperature of 300-350 Degrees F. The exact temperature and time should be determined for each job depending on conductivity of plastic, and plastic wall thickness. Parts with thick walls may require an increase of 50 Degrees F., or a longer curing time. The total curing time should not exceed ten minutes. Short curing times at higher temperatures generally give the sharpest definition of print. Lower temperatures often lead to loss of sharpness.

COLORS: (See Color Availability Chart )
Ink Type SUB is available in:

• Blue
• Red
