Description
Gloss Vinyl Ink Series – High Gloss, Flexible Ink for Vinyl Applications
The Gloss Vinyl Ink Series is a high-performance solvent-based ink system formulated for screen printers working with vinyl and flexible substrates.
Engineered for superior flexibility and strong adhesion, this series delivers a rich, high-gloss finish ideal for decorative and industrial applications.
Thanks to its slower drying time (20–40 minutes air dry), Gloss Vinyl is especially well-suited to hand print operations and situations where controlled print handling is essential.
The ink is compatible with a wide range of vinyl materials, including pressure-sensitive vinyl films, vacuum-formed plastics, cellulose acetate, and Lexan®.
Key Benefits:
- High gloss finish with strong flexibility for vacuum-formed or curved surfaces
- Air-drying formula (20–40 mins), ideal for hand screen printing
- Excellent adhesion on vinyls, Lexan®, and coated surfaces
- Compatible with mesh counts from 62T to 140T
- Available in a wide range of standard and Pantone-matching colours
