Drying:
The drying characteristics of Mara Prop PP can be adjusted with auxiliaries to the respective application (screen or pad printing).
The following times can be assumed:
Pad Printing: Touch-dry at 20 °C after 2-3 min, at 30 °C after 30-40 seconds.
Screen Printing: Can be overprinted after drying at 20 °C for 10-15 min, stackable after tunnel drying at 60 °C within 40-60 seconds.
The times mentioned above vary according to substrate, depth of cliché, the ink film thickness, drying conditions, and the auxiliaries used. An extended drying time is generally necessary in the case of multi-colour printing or printing onto front and reverse side.

Printing parameters:
Screen Printing
All types of commercially available polyester fabrics (1:1 plain weave quality) and solvent-resistant stencils can be used.
Pad Printing
All commercially available clichés made of ceramic, photopolymer, thin steel, and chemi-cally hardened steel (10 mm) can be used. The recommended cliché depth is 18-25 µm.
As per our experience, all common printing pads consisting of materials cross-linked by condensation or addition can be used.
Mara Prop PP is suitable for closed ink cup systems, as well as for open ink wells. Depending on type and usage of the machine, it is to accordingly adjust type and amount of the thinner used.
