Making Glow in the Dark Signs
Submitted by: Alex K
Materials Required:
Glow paints or powders, brushes
Procedure:
Our glow in the dark paints and powders are ideal for all types of signage. Because they are of
the highest grade available on the market, they are appropriate for safety and exit signs.
Glow
in the Dark Ink - Screen Printing :
1.In order to get a better luminosity effect of the printed
patterns; use silk screen of below 200 meshes for screen-printing. The reason is that the layer of the
printing ink will be thicker and will obtain a better luminous effect by using silk screen of a lower
mesh number. The ideal screen is of 80~120 meshes.
2. To heighten the lightness and prolong
the luminous period of the printed pattern, place a lining in white color under the layer of printing
ink, or, print directly onto the white color base material.
3. To get the ideal lightness of the
luminous printed patterns, the minimum thickness of the layer of printing ink should not be less than
100µm(micron). When the thickness ranges between 130 to 150µm, the lightness will be the greatest. (To
achieve this, print the ink twice on 80-mesh silk screen.)
4. Overlap-printing will obtain a
more distinctive printed pattern.
5. Choose an Ink with a PH level of about 7.
6. Ink
should be clear, with no UV filters.
