Note: Be sure to use inks designed for YUPO® for silver ink.
Note: There is no inks designed for YUPO® specified for gold ink and therefore this poses the risk of solvent attack.
Note: Metallic inks emulsify easily and therefore a minimum of Dampening water should be used when printing with these.
Note: Be sure to adjust the printing pressure by increasing it slightly. These inks have less transferability than process inks.
Note: When gold ink comes into contact with other inks, oxidation can be caused by the gas produced in the drying process, which may result in blackening. Instead of gold ink, please use T&K TOKA's imitation gold ink. This is a mixture of YUPO®-compatible silver ink, YUPO®-compatible yellow, and YUPO®-compatible reddish-gold.
