One component ink for screen and pad printing on glass and ceramics as well as metal and thermosets. This glossy, physically drying and chemical reactive screen printing ink exhibits very good mechanical and chemical resistance, as well as a good flexibility. The final oven curing is required for the chemical hardening process and assumption for the above mentioned resistance.

The basic ink mixing system of series 110-GE consists of 12 basic colors (B scale) and can be used to mix a wide range of shades, including 22 standard opaque, ready to print colors. Practically tested mixing formulas are available for many different color standards, e.g. Pantone®, HKS, RAL, NCS etc.

The range also includes bronze shades and overprint varnishes for special applications.
