Mirror ink is printed on the reverse side of transparent materials. When viewed from the front, it has a mirror - like bright effect, comparable to hot stamping and aluminum plating. Mirror ink is mainly suitable for surface decorative printing of mobile phone lenses, mobile phone panels, tablet computer panels, air - conditioning panels, color crystal glass, art glass, control panels of electronic products, and process gifts, signs, etc.
Our company's mirror ink is a solvent - based ink, suitable for screen printing and gravure printing. After natural drying combined with heat drying, the mirror effect is remarkable, with a bright and flat surface, no bottom leakage, strong adhesion, resistance to water soaking, resistance to ultrasonic cleaning, and suitable for various base - covering protective inks.
Our company's mirror ink is mainly used for transparent plastic sheets (including hardened ones), plastic films and glass, such as PC (polycarbonate), PMMA (acrylic or organic glass), ABS, PVC, and treated PET, BOPP, NY, color crystal glass, etc.
The mirror ink for gravure printing of our company has low viscosity, fine particles, and is suitable for high - speed printing. The original ink can be directly printed, or it can be diluted with a small amount of solvents such as ethyl acetate and n - propyl acetate for printing. The mirror effect is different on different substrates, and the mirror effect is also different with different thicknesses of the film layer. The winding pressure should be lower, and the winding temperature should be lower. The adhesion test varies due to different substrates, different drying conditions, and different test methods.
The mirror ink for screen printing of our company has moderate viscosity and is suitable for 300 - 420 mesh screen printing. On different substrates, the mirror effect is also different. Try to use materials with a flat and smooth surface as much as possible. If the viscosity is relatively high, solvents such as 783 and anti - white water can be added for dilution. After printing, it can be naturally dried for 10 minutes, and then baked for thorough drying (for plastics: 60 - 80 degrees, 40 - 60 minutes; for glass: 150 - 180 degrees, 15 - 30 minutes). If printed on hardened materials or requiring resistance to boiling water and ultrasonic cleaning, 3 - 5% curing agent needs to be added.
