►Stanley's Sign & Screen Supply - InkTech GP-0000 Series

InkTech General Purpose Ink, GP-0000 Series

Inktech International was incorporated in 1992, and as a privately owned company have accumulated a vast knowledge of the screen printing industry. Prior to forming Inktech, many of us worked within various aspects of the industry, each bringing a fresh perspective of what the industry was missing. We recognized a lack of respect and dedication between ink manufacturers/suppliers and their customers, which often occurs with the lack of competition. Although our initial objective was to renew the respect that a supplier should have for it's customers, and build a partnership with them, we have also raised the bar for quality, service and price.

Product Discription:

A long-term multi-purpose outdoor ink designed to print on a wide range of substrates. GP-0000 Series ink eliminates the need for carrying a large inventory of different types of ink. Ideal for P.O.P. and general display applications where a gloss finish, scuff resistant surface are required.

Application Information:

Substrate:

PAPER AND CARD, WOOD, POLYSTYRENE, VINYLS(PVC), ABS, ACRYLICS, TOP COATED POLYESTER , TYVEK.

Application:

P.O.P. / DISPLAY, SIGNS, DECALS.

Thinning:

May be used straight from the can but it is recommended to thin 5 - 15% by weight with GP-1800 Thinner. Substitute GP-1800 Thinner with GP-1820 Slow
Thinner to improve screen stability. For maximum lightfastness or outdoor durability little or no thinning is recommended.

Additives:

GP-1700 Clear should only be used to increase transparency of colours . However, this will reduce the durability and lightfastness of the colour. To improve scuff resistance add up to 10% GP-1860 Anti-Scuff Agent. Use GP-1350 Overprint Clear to increase scuff resistance or to provide a uniform gloss level to a GP-0000 ink film. Add 5% to 10% of DC-393 Gel Retarder to thinned ink to maintain screen stability. Use a small amount of GP-1730 Process Clear to improve print quality if required.

GP-1800 Thinner, GP-1840 Wash-Up.
