With 50 years of manufacturing experience, colormaker industries is recognised by professional printers and fine artists alike as a producer of premium screen printing inks.
in keeping with our reputation of innovation, we have re-engineered
our popular line of paper inks to develop a totally water-based product with superior performance and color brightness. This eliminates the use of solvents so it’s not only safe for the environment and the printer, but ensures equipment can be easily cleaned with water and solvent fumes are eliminated.
permaprint premium is formulated to provide excellent adhesion on a wide range of substrates including sealed paper, cardboard, tyvek, polyesters (mylar), polycarbonates (lexan), some coated metals and poly-styrene and exhibits exceptional water resistance once dried.
sUiTABLe sUBsTrATespermaprint premium inks are suited to printing on sealed paper, cardboard, tyvek, polyesters (mylar), polycarbonates (lexan), some coated metals and poly-styrene. care should be taken with some vinyls as plasticizer migration may soften the ink over time. care should also be taken with some uncoated papers as cockling may occur.
prinTingScreen meshes of 32-120T (83-305 tpi) monofilament polyester are suitable for most permaprint premium applications. ensure adequate ink on the screen for even print. Between prints, ensure ink is flooded over entire image area to prevent drying-in. ensure that screen emulsions and blockout are water-resistant and fully cured.
Mesh: permaprint premium is used commercially with mesh counts from 32T metric (83 tpi) for high lay down hand printed wallpaper and art reproduction to 120T (305 tpi) on applications such as stickers, posters and backlit displays where maximum detail and transparency is required. general purpose work is best with mesh from 77-100T (195-255 tpi). polyester mesh is preferred over nylon.
sqUeegee: sharp square urethane squeegees from 55 to 75 shore hardness are recommended.
sTenciL: Water resistant stencils are essential with permaprint premium. Dual cure direct emulsions such as KiWO poly-plus srX, ULAnO LX-660 or sericOL Dirasol 916 are recommended for long runs and maximum print resolution.
Drying: permaprint premium inks can be air or jet dried and are also suitable for r.f. or Microwave dryers. permaprint premium dries by simple evaporation over 20-30 minutes or can be jet dried at 65-75°c (149-167°f) for approximately 30-45 seconds. With porous substrates, drying is aided by absorption. Drying rates are affected by ink thickness. Testing under print shop conditions on substrates is recommended before commencing.
ensure that adequate ventilation is provided during drying and that adequate cooling is allowed before stacking to prevent blocking problems.
fastness
Light fastness is good - excellent. Most colours rate full 8/8, but all colours rate not less than 6/8.
