SUBSTRATES Paper, Display Board, Corrugated Board, Fine Art Papers. (Weights more than 120gsm) MESH 79-140 Polyester mesh for most applications PRINTING Aqua Art ink may be thinned to achieve proper ink flow Thoroughly mix the ink prior to printing. Maintain ink temperature at 65-90F (18-32C) for optimum print performance. Lower temperatures increase the ink viscosity, impairing flow. Elevated temperatures lower the ink viscosity, reducing print definition, film thickness and opacity. DRYING Aqua Art ink dries by evaporation in 20-30 minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Jet dry at 66 77 C for approximately 30-45 seconds using maximum air flow through the oven. Adequate cooling may be necessary to avoid blocking problems when stacked. *Please note: Unlike the rest of the Aqua Art Ink range (which are archivable and have high light fast pigments), the Aqua Art fluorescent range, when exposed to sunlight or bright LED or incandescent lighting, can fade. Fluorescent inks do not have good light fastness and should be used with caution when doing works that are to be displayed for a long time. Returns accepted only on unopened and unused inks.
