Product Information

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

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 . 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.

Wash-Up: GP-1800 Thinner GP-1840 Wash-Up

Coverage: Approximately 2100 sq.ft./1 U.S. Gallon using a 280/in. monofilament fabric.

Fabric/Stencil: 200 to 355 monofilament fabric . Direct and indirect photostencil or water soluble hand cut stencils are suitable

Drying: By solvent evaporation . GP-0000 Series dries in 15 to 30 minutes at normal room temperature or can be jet dried 20 to 45 seconds at 150°F. to 200°F. Allow more time between prints for multiple colour jobs.

Die Cutting/Creasing/Vacuum Forming: Can be successfully die-cut or creased but should be tested prior to production . GP -0000 series has excellent vacuum forming characteristics . Gloss levels may increase during vacuum forming depending on temperature and substrate used .
