Water-based Ink Retarder 100ml Screen Printing Supplies uk
£5.00
Screen printing ink retarder
For water based ink 100ml
Retarder is used to slow the drying of the ink in the screen.
Meaning you can leave the ink flooded for a longer period of time.
To make the ink become more open in the screen you add up to 5%, 10% OR 20% of the retarder.
Please note that the addition of too much retarder will slow down and lengthen the curing time of the ink
and could even possibly inhibit the ink curing completely.
Use with care.

We always recommended to do a test print and wash test ON TEXTILES before running any job.
What should you do when water based inks are drying in the screen?
This is simply the most common issue with water based inks, particularly with top-coat water based inks like acrylic ink.
In the fine art world, the simplest solution is to add a retarder: A Water retainsoner would be added to ink to keep it from drying.
Sunlight Stencils Retarder is a formaldehyde-free additive designed to extend the screen life of water based ink during production printing.
It is compatible with water-based and discharge ink systems.
Our Retarder can be used to thin and slow down the air drying process of the ink,
which especially comes in handy for printing water based inks through a high mesh count such as a90t mesh or higher.
It is also very useful on hot days or when there is a lot of air-flow, from fans or ventilation systems, blowing across the screens.
Also useful when printing in higher altitudes.
Finally add by volume, directly into the water-based ink.
Over 20% will slow down and lengthen in curing times or inhibit complete cure.
