2. Squeegee 65-75 degree Squeegee sharp and flat.
3. Pigments added ratio:For white and fluorescent color 20%,other color 10%
4. Catalyst mixing ratio:10%
5. Silicone thinner XG-128AH adding ratio:10-30% ,brush printing need more silicone thinner.
6. Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp :80℃-100℃ for 6-10 seconds ,after finish printing to dry by temp :100℃ for about 2 -3 minutes,for wait 24 hours later can get ink total dry. This low temp type silicone ink, no need high temp curing.

Elastic Silicone ink printing tips:

• 1. Elastic Silicone ink for under coating 2 layers

Elastic silicone                 XG-130D-3   100 G

Elastic silicone catalyst         XG-130DB    10 G 10%

Silicone thinner               XG-128AH    10-20G 10%- 20%

Flash by 80℃-100℃ for 6-10 seconds.

• 2. Black Elastic Silicone ink print 2 layers

Elastic silicone             XG-130D       100 G

Black pigment             XG-501         10G   10%  

Elastic silicone catalyst    XG-130DB      10G 10%

Silicone thinner            XG-128AH     10-20G 10%- 20%

Flash by 80℃-100℃ for 6-10 seconds.

• 3. Chameleon powder silicone effect print 2 layers:

Silicone            XG-20S-1      60G

Chameleon powders               6G   10%

Slow dry catalyst   XG-MB-1       6G  10%

Silicone thinner            XG-128AH     10-20G 10%- 20%

Flash by 80℃-100℃ for 6-10 seconds.

• 4. Silicone crossing linker dotting print 1 layer:
