Japan's latest development of high-brightness mirror ink Nippon Aruba Bass Co., Ltd. has recently developed a high-brightness mirror ink. The special aluminum pigments used in this ink can be printed on the backside of transparent plastic materials to achieve a mirror-like light effect. In addition, the ink can also be printed on a solvent-resistant material to achieve a mirror effect. The ink uses a special resin, belonging to the single-liquid evaporation drying ink, suitable for smooth and transparent plastic materials, such as PC, PVC and other materials on the back of the printing, resulting in a mirror effect, but also with a metallic luster.

The use of high-brightness special aluminum pigments, the color is bright and incomparable, with good viscosity and printability, generally do not need to add thinner. However, if the used ink is poured into the ink tank, when it is used again, 5 % of special thinner may be added in order to improve the handling of the ink. The screen used for printing is preferably a screen of 250 to 300 mesh. Use a scraper with a hardness of 80°. The ink can be dried at room temperature. In order to increase the printing brightness, forced drying may also be performed at a temperature of 50 to 60°C.

If the used mesh and drying conditions do not match the above parameters, the print quality will be degraded.
