New from Ciba is a ready-to-use flatbed screen printing ink that offers ultra shiny silver mirror effects on a wide range of transparent plastic substrates.
Xymara Quicksilver SF-02 is said to provide an economic and productive printing alternative to foil blocking and film metallisation. Mike Mordente, global head of Ciba’s Imaging & Inks Business Line, commented: “Metallic ink is frequently regarded as a critical product by ink makers for a number of different reasons, including uneconomically small batch sizes high cost of raw materials, and the special formulating required. Xymara Quicksilver SF-02 removes these problems, allowing the screen ink maker to free up production capacity, reduce inventory cost and minimise waste.”
