Drying:
Ultra Star UVS 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 120-180 W/cm) will cure the UVS at a belt speed of 15 - 30 m/min. Due to their higher pigmentation, Opaque White UVS 170 and Opaque Black UVS 180 require a reduction of the printing speed (approx. 10 - 20 m/min).
Ultra Star UVS is a post-curing UV ink which will achieve its final adhesion and resistances after 24 hours. The ink film should pass a cross hatch tape test after having cooled down to room temperature.
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.
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.
Printing parameters:
we recommend fabrics between 150-27 and 180-31 (all in plain weave). A high and uniform screen tension (>16 N) is further important to guarantee a defined ink deposit. All commercially available capillary films (15-20 µm) or solvent resistant photo emulsions and combined stencils can be used for UV-inks.

Selection of fabric depends on the printing conditions, the desired hardening speed and yield, as well as the requested opacity. Generally, you can use all fabrics from 120-34 to 180-27 threads. For 4-colour process inks,
we recommend fabrics between 150-27 and 180-31 (all in plain weave). A high and uniform screen tension (>16 N) is further important to guarantee a defined ink deposit. All commercially available capillary films (15-20 µm) or solvent resistant photo emulsions and combined stencils can be used for UV-inks.
