Ink adjustment:
All Ultra Plus UVP colour shades are brilliant at high gloss and best possible opacity. Ultra Plus UVP has a hard cross-linking and will therefore brittle in case of highest chemical and mechanical resistances. Owing to this, UVP is hardly formable and cannot be moulded. If you want to cut and punch in the printed ink film, preliminary trials are essential.
Drying:
Ultra Plus UVP is a fast curing UV ink. A UV curing unit with two medium pressure Mercury Vapour Lamps (capacity 80 - 120 W/cm) or one lamp (capacity 150 - 180 W/cm) is curing UVP at a belt speed of 10 - 20 m/min or 4800 passes/h. Opaque White UVP 170 and Opaque Black UVP 180 are drying more slowly (approx. 15 m/min) due to their high amount of pigments.
The curing speed of the ink is generally dependant upon the kind of UV-curing unit (reflectors), number, age, and power of the UV-lamps, the printed ink film thickness, colour shade, substrate in use, as well as the printing speed.
Ultra Plus UVP is a post-curing UV ink which will achieve its final adhesion and resistances after 24 hours. The ink film should pass a cross-cut tape test after having cooled down to room temperature. After 24 hours, the printed ink film achieves its maximum resistance to fillers and water as well as rub resistance.
As with all UV-curable printing inks, the presence of residual monomers and photoinitiators' decomposition products cannot be completely ruled out even after sufficient curing. If these traces are relevant for the application, this must be taken into account in individual cases, as this depends on the actual printing and curing conditions.
Please make sure that waste prints are also completely cured, otherwise they are subject to the same disposal rules as liquid ink residues (hazardous waste).

Please make sure that waste prints are also completely cured, otherwise they are subject to the same disposal rules as liquid ink residues (hazardous waste).Printing parameters:
Selection of fabric depends on the printing conditions, the desired curing speed and yield as well as the required opacity. Generally, you can use all fabrics from 120-34 to 180-27 threads. Generally, a high even stretching of the fabric (>16 N) is important allowing a smooth ink application. For UV inks, all commercially available capillary films (15-20 µm) or solvent resistant photo emulsions and combined stencils can be used.
