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

InkTech Gloss Vinyl Ink, GLV-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:

Thinning:

May be used straight from the can but it is recommended to thin 5 - 15% by weight with GLV-1800 Thinner. For maximum light fastness or outdoor durability, little or no thinning is recommended.

Drying:

By solvent evaporation . GLV-0000 Series air dries in 30 to 60 minutes. Allow more time when overprinting to avoid possible re-wetting of previous colours. For jet-drying applications, test Modified Acrylic AM-0000 Series.
