How can we increase covering power?

Use squeegee with 70 degree hardness and rather high printing pressure. When printing with Mirror Ink, the covering power may not be as good as what is shown in print samples. An effective measure to increase covering power is to use a harder squeegee. As the Mirror Ink has less resin in it, ink transfer to the substrate is rather lighter than with ordinary screen inks.

Therefore changing printing conditions is sometimes effective.

* Recommended printing conditions are as follows
Squeegee hardness should be 70 degrees. / Printing pressure should be slightly higher. / Doctor pressure should be slightly higher as well.
