Processing

Mesh
All commercially available mesh can be used.
Stencils
All commercially available and solvent resistant stencils can be used.

Drying
Drying of series 320 depends on the layer thickness as well as on the substrate and the auxiliaries used.
Usual parameters (without addition of retarder):

• Air Physically very fast drying. Overprintable after 5 minutes at 20°C ambient temperature / 50% relative humidity.
• Dryer Depending in dryer performance the prints are stackable after 20-40 seconds. The recommended drying temperature is 40-60°C.

Further Processing

• Punching
• Cutting
• Laminating
• Grooving
• Molding
• Thermal forming
• Folding

Cleaning
Stencils and squeegees should be cleaned with Series 300-URS or Series 300-BRS in a timely manner.
