Recommended Dilution
To achieve the desired print viscosity and/or drying speed we recommend the following dilutions:

• Thinner: Water
  To achieve the desired print viscosity add up to a maximum of 10% water.
  If the colour strength of the ink is still too intense, any further dilution must be carried out with varnish.  This ensures the correct properties of the printing ink.
• Retarder: HRL
  Quantity: 1% – 3%
  For slower drying: Too much may induce colour smearing, colour transfer and contamination on machine parts.
