Stickers

The LOV series consists of vinyl-based inks of high-gloss finish and resistance against weathering, designed for high-quality printing on vinyl products, vinyl-coated paper, and the like. The printed film is very rugged to withstand outdoor weathering while maintaining adequate softness. Weathering resistance is assured for all colors without bleeding. Inks in this series are ideal for screen printing requiring a sharp finish.

Specifications
Ink type Pigments and resins are blended in with low-odor, air-drying inks to produce excellent luster and durability. Solvents and drying retarders may be added as needed.
Usage Ideal for all vinyl products including vinyl-coated paper, stickers, cloths, molded products, toys, and shower curtains.
Finish Soft luster with good leveling.
Coverage Approximately 30m2 per kilogram on a 250-mesh tetron screen.
Drying time Air-dries(20°C) in approximately 30 minutes, or quicker with thermal curing.
Screen Use of water-soluble cut film or photomechanical process is recommended.
Mesh Tetron or nylon screens having a mesh number of 200 or larger for finer finish.
Diluent Standard solvent (T-912) or slow-dry solvent (T-920).
Retarder Use of T-980 gives an ideal fluidity.
Wash-up Use T-911 or T-15 for economical wash-up.
Weathering Inks in this series are highly resistant against weathering although it varies with the color.
Resistance Extra resistance against weathering is available upon request.
Clarity Nontransparency varies with the color. Transparent color inks (eight colors) are available. Please refer to the gloss color cards for color tones.
Notes These inks adhere very well to almost all vinyl surfaces but performance may be affected by wax or other undesired substances that may adhere to PVC leather, vinyl plastic coating, cast items, or dyes. Testing is recommended.

Ease of use was emphasized in developing the vinyl-based inks in the ACT series. Outstanding compatibility for printing and workability differentiate them from other PVC inks. They are also economical, quick drying screen printing inks of good adhesion and low odor levels applicable for a wide variety of vinyl products.

Specifications
Ink type Air-drying inks of low odor consisting of vinyl resins, and high-quality pigments.
Usage Ideal for all vinyl products including toys, artificial leathers, and other soft vinyl, hard vinyl, PVC and stickers. Often used for marathon printing. Matte finish with good leveling of smooth screen printing
Finish Matte finish with good leveling of smooth screen printing film.
Drying time Air-dries (20°C) in approximately 5-10 minutes, or quicker with thermal curing, depending on the material and work environment. Overcoating can take place within 1-2 minutes, making the inks ideal for marathon printing.
Machine type Ideal for marathon printing and high-speed cylinder press printing.
Adhesion Inks adhere well to nearly all vinyl products. Presence of mold lubricant and plasticizer may affect adhesion. Testing is recommended.
Mesh Tetron or nylon screens with a mesh number of 200 or higher.
Coverage The printing area is about 25m² per kilogram at 250 mesh.
Secondary The printed material may be fabricated safely without causing ink cracks or problems due to tackiness.
Processability The printed film is flexible without peeling due to deflection. Blocking resistance is also good.
Diluent Use standard solvent (T-912) for adjusting viscosity. Use slow-dry solvent (T-920) or retarder (T-980) when the drying time needs to be extended due to work environment, or for precision printing.
Retarder Use of T-980 assures ideal fluidity
Wash-up Use T-911 or T-15 for economical wash-up.
Weathering Resistance Extra resistance against weathering is available upon request.
Notes Use ACT-Y1215 medium HV when gold metallic powder is added.
Test Conditions
Material PVC sticker, soft vinyl film
Drying 24 Hours at Normal Temperature (20°C)
