Enquire

Technical specifications compiled from Marabu product data sheets. UV and LED-curable inks depend heavily on substrate, lamp type and curing dose — since printability and full cure vary even within a single material type, preliminary trials are essential to determine suitability for the intended use. Always consult the current Marabu technical data sheet for cure, resistance, auxiliaries and safety information. It is the printer's responsibility to confirm the correct ink has been selected for a specific substrate and that the application process meets the customer's requirements.
