Shade/Lightfastness:
Except where stated all Process Sets meet European shade specifications (eg ISO 2846). Lightfastness values (blue wool scale) are as follows (all in full strength prints):
Yellow 4-5. Magenta. 4-5 Cyan 7. Black 7-8.
(1) Rub Resistance:
Many matt coated and silk papers exhibit poor rub resistance. Sealing is recommended with 123625 Silkoseal Hard Dry sealer, 120880 Acraseal water-miscible varnish or one of our many grades of emulsion coatings.
(2) U.V. Varnishability:
The use of I.R. Drying is NOT recommended when subsequent overvarnishing wet on dry with U.V. or conventional varnishes is intended. Further information on factors influencing U.V. varnishability and other “finishing” processes can be obtained from us.
A full Product Information sheet and safety data sheet is available for all inks.
Shackell Edwards can provide PANTONE® formula guides for standard, pastel and metallic shades, together with other PANTONE® publications.
