The mirror effect ink is screen printing ink that can offer mirror appearance by printing on the back side of transparent film and sheeting.
Ink type | Evaporation-drying ink (one pack type)/available as two-part-reaction ink |
Usage | Used for obtaining metallic mirror appearance by printing on the back side of transparent and flat surface of plastic sheets like treated PET, Polycarbonate, Hard PVC & Acrylic. Mirror effect ink blended with special aluminum powder and resin that creates metallic brilliant effects instead of hot stamping or metallic plating by vacuum evaporation. |
Screen | Polyester/nylon 250~300 mesh/inch fabric is recommended. Printable area approximately 30~70㎡/kg through polyester 270 mesh/inch fabric. |
Drying time | Drying at low temperature and humidity makes higher mirror effects. Initial-drying approximate 10~15 minutes at 20~25℃ Forced-drying approximate 40~60 minutes at 60~80℃ |
Others | Special caution in printing set up is required for printing with Mirror effect ink and Mirror effect ink No.3 series because the viscosity of those products is much lower than a conventional screen printing ink. ・Check the mirror effect on actual substrates(particularly “molded parts”) prior to production run, as a poor mirror appearance may be brought depending on the properties of substrate such as solvent resistance, transparency and surface flatness. ・The adhesion may be improved by adding approximately 2% of D-Hardener when you must print on poor adhesion substrate. |
Characteristics | High mirror effect, High viscosity and Excellent printability |
Soaked in boiling water | No Effect |
