Water used should be of average hardness and adjusted to following viscosity: Aqueous Printing - Approx. 80 dPas*. Low solvent Printing – 60 - 70 dPas*.*Measured with Haake Viscotester VT 02.
Fixation: Hot-air fixation produces the optimum standard of fastness. The following temperatures and dwell times are recommended : 4-5 min at 150°C or 2-3 min at 160-170°C.Superheated steam fixation should be carried out for 5 - 7 min at a minimum of 160"C. This method also produces a good standard of fastness but somewhat inferior to that of prints fixed with hot air.
