This is a Vinyl based ink. PLT1 is a single component ink. It has a matt appearance and an excellent covering power with a quick drying capacity. Good resistance to abrasion and alcohol. To be used with caution with materials that can be easily attacked by solvents. In the event of anomalies on the printed supports, use a less aggressive ink. Non-toxic ink (NT) in compliance with the EN 71/part 3 European standard and with the 2011/65/EC European Directive (RoHS 2).

PROCESSING
Mix and strongly dilute the ink by using the PLA thinner in the measure of max. 10-20%. When printing fine details or screened images (e.g. 80/120 lines per cm^2) in warm environments, we recommend you add the PLD retardant in a minimum percentage.
CAUTION!Excessive dilution generates a loss of the covering power, smudges and an imperfect detachment of the ink from the pad. An insufficient dilution causes problems of drawing the ink from the cliché, printing repeatability and dripping of the ink with a consequent decline of the printing quality.
DRYING AND HARDENING
The drying time lasts between 10 and 15 minutes at an ambient temperature of about 20°C. If you would like it to dry in only a few time, you can use hot air circulation ovens (60-80°C) or high temperature spot devices (air or infrared rays) that can be installed on the piece feeding systems (e.g. rotary tables, conveyors, etc.). The ink is completely hardened after 24 hours.
