PRINTING RECOMMENDATIONS
+ Do not overprint with a clear coating
+ Pretest new substrates for adhesion and product resistance.
+ Substrates must achieve recommended dyne levels to attain the best resistance properties. The optimum dyne levels will vary depending on the substrate used. The recommended treatment methods are flame or corona.
+ Film thickness is critical for complete curing of the ink. Under normal printing conditions
we recommend an application of ink between 0.8 to 1.5 grams/meter²
