| Quickset Gloss is a high performance Ultra Violet curable screen printing ink specifically formulated for
the point of purchase printing where a wide variety of substrates are used. The unique versatility of
Quickset Gloss ink provides printers with a single ink system in inventory for multiple uses .
Quickset Gloss offers superior opacity and high gloss while maintaining quick cure rates . Quickset Gloss
provides a durable , non – blocking surface and demonstrates excellent outdoor durability. |
PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES
· Suitable for exterior exposure to three (3) years on premium vinyl
· Superior opacity provides better color trapping
· Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
· Non-blocking , low tack finish for easy handling
· Superb water and abrasion resistance
· Flexible for multi-layer applications and die-cutting
· NVP free |
RECOMMENDED SUBSTRATES
Quickset Gloss exhibits excellent adhesion to pressure sensitive vinyls, polystyrene, ABS,
polycarbonate, rigid vinyls, coated and uncoated paper, card stock, polyethylene coated card stock and
some coated metals. High density and fluted polyethylene with use of 3-5% 1534 Adhesion Promoter.
Note: Always pretest prior to use. |
CURING SPECIFICATIONS
Quickset Gloss will cure well when printed through 355 (140 cm) plain weave polyester mesh or finer. UP’s
optimal cure window of 175 to 200 mJ is generally achieved with one 200 watt per inch mercury vapor lamp at
belt speeds between 50-70 feet (15-20 meters) per minute. This should provide a thorough cure of the product
including opaque colors.
Adhesion should be a minimum of 95% from curing unit with final adhesion developing within four hours of initial
polymerization. Coarser fabrics can be utilized; however, cure parameters may need to be adjusted for the
increased ink film.
If a loss of gloss or adhesion due to insufficient cure is noticed, the use of 5 - 10% UP Mixing Clear will increase
light penetration and improve cure. |
VISCOSITY REDUCTION
Although QUICKSET GLOSS has been supplied in a press ready condition for most printing applications,
this system may be reduced up to 10% with UV Universal Thinner for special viscosity requirements.
NOTE: Always premix prior to use. |
COVERAGE
QUICKSET GLOSS will yield an average of 3200 to 3600 sq. ft. per gallon based on film deposit of 0.40
to 0.60 mil thickness. |
SQUEEGEE
A 70-90 Durometer polyurethane blade is recommended. |
INK MODIFICATION
UVG Mixing Clear may be added to reduce opacity thus increasing cure speed. UVG Mixing Clear is not
recommended for viscosity reduction. UV Universal Thinner is recommended for viscosity reduction.
However, it is not recommended to exceed 10% by total weight as this will reduce cure rate and may
affect adhesion. |
METALLICS
UVG Metallic Mixing Clear is supplied for use in mixing metallic powders such as leafing and non-leafing
silver and gold. The increase in viscosity of Metallic Mixing Clear helps insure a good powder suspension
and maintain a good premix shelf life. The recommended mixing ratios are 8% by weight of silver powder
and 20% of gold powder. The optimum coverage and opacity, 260-305 meshes are recommended. With
the use of UVG Overprint Clear, extended weatherability and non-tarnishing properties can be achieved. |
PRECAUTIONS
Read the material safety data sheet prior to processing . It contains instructions for precautions when
processing , handling and storing inks , as well as first aid. |
