PERFORMANCE PROPERTY
SOLVENT RESISTANCE

Samples printed with Series 2000 and 5000 ribbons. Samples laminated to aluminum panels and allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to testing. Test was conducted at room temperature except where noted. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified test fluid followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
