Applications
Self adhesive vinyl’s and coated polyesters, Rigid PVC, ABS, CAB.
NOT suitable for PETG and soft PVC. E.g. Banner material. For this application we recommend KromaFlex range of inks. For PETG and other Vacuum forming thermo-plastics we recommend KromaForm inks.
Recommendations made by Kromex are to help you match the ink to a particular job, our suggestions are to assist you and do not amount to a guarantee - Never start a print run without first doing a test print and being sure that the chosen ink matches your expectations.

Thinning
Super V Gloss inks should be thinned using Thinner 404. For detail work and/or printing in hot conditions use Retarder 406 as part or all of the thinner. For printing Rigid PVC use Thinner 408. Super V Gloss inks can be thinned up to 30%. To reduce the level of gloss used between 5 - 20% Matting Thinner 461. If consistency needs to be retained, we recommend using up to 5% (but no more than 10% as this may affect adhesion) of Gel Retarder 436.

Coverage
The coverage and opacity achieved with Super V Gloss inks is greatly influenced by the amount of added Thinner/Retarder, mesh used, etc. Using a 100 T Mesh and thinning 25% an approximate coverage of 70 m2/ltr may be expected.

Drying
Drying is by solvent evaporation and is influenced by the thinner used and the temperature and velocity of the air over the print.

Cleaning
We recommend Screenwash 101 or Screenwash Extra 103 for cleaning screens and equipment. Where Health & Safety is foremost we advise the use of KromaFresh 106. A non hazardous, biodegradable screenwash that has a citrus aroma, making the workplace a better place to be.
To remove any stains that may occur use KromaStain 540, a very efficient stain remover that will leave your screens looking new again, used regularly, 540 will prolong the life of your mesh.
