Many factors determine the durability and life of a print. Among them are additives that are added to the screen or pad printing inks to increase the life of ink, viscosity, tackiness, drying speeds etc. Few additives that are usually added to inks are Adhesion modifiers, retarders, hardeners, levelling agents and thinners.
All Ruco inks require the addition of either a reducer and/or a retarder prior to printing.
Screens and squeegees as well as other working materials can be cleaned with the RUCO cleaners. Please call or email us for further information. We recommend tests prior to making any change to ensure that the product is suitable for your application.
