General
It is advisable to have films treated to a minimum of 38 dynes/cm to achieve good adhesion. Excellent printability can be achieved at both high and low print speeds (80 to 380 m/minute), providing drying speed adjustments are made on the press.
These inks have been formulated in accordance with the recommendation of the British Coatings Federation.
Waste disposal
Care should be exercised in the disposal of printing ink waste. This should be carried out in accordance with good industrial practice observing all the appropriate regulations including the relevant guideline notes to the Environment Conservation Act and Regulations (73/1989).
