Solvent System:

Normal	Toluene : Ethyl Acetate → 50 : 50
Slowing the drying	Toluene : Ethyl Acetate : MIBK → 50 : 40 : 10
Accelerator	Ethyl Acetate or MEK
Retarder	MIBK (as required, extra may lead to blocking)

Shelf Life: The inks and medium of this series have, under normal conditions, a shelf life of at least 6 months

Normal Conditions means:

• Storage in tightly closed containers.
• No admixtures.
• Short time excessive-temperatures e.g. at transport are not harmful.
• The products are not sensitive to frost.

Over-stored inks (typical symptoms: fall in gloss, shift in shade, formation of odour and / or viscosity increase) may normally – (off color being exceptions) - be used the same way as residual inks by controlled admixture to fresh inks. Increased viscosity due to long-time storage of inks may generally be adjusted
by addition of a slightly higher amount of thinner than the usual.
