Solvent printing
The solvent pressure is a common method in the context of so-called film printing . The process works with solvent-based inks .
Mode of action
The solvents in the ink soften the material surface in the printing area on contact with the sign material so that they can diffuse into the sign material. In most cases, plastics and foils are used as shield materials.
Areas of application
The process is often used when printing fabrics and polyester fabrics . In machine and plant engineering, solvent printing is particularly important for control cabinet markings. Most of the labels used in the control cabinets are produced with solvent pressure systems.
Carrier material
Polycarbonate (PC), a sub-group of the plastic polyester, is usually used as the carrier material .
