[Robert Lambie]

Hi rob

Thanks for the quick reply

I’m using Graficast

It smells quite strong of solvent and the colour has trasfered to the squeegee and onto my fingers

Quick update on the above situation

I called Grafityp this morning and they said that it is not uncommon for the colour of the vinyl to come away onto hands and tools if the vinyl in question came from early in the production run.

What are your thoughts?

HI PAUL, IVE NEVER COME ACROSS THAT PROBLEM, I USE FASSON VINYL BUT THEN AGAIN IME UP NORTH, IVE USED GOLD AND SILVER BUT NEVER HAD THE COLOUR COMING OF ON MY HANDS OR SQUEEGEE, I TAKE IT THIS VINYL COLOUR HAS NOT BEEN SCREEN PRINTED ON! IF SO THE COLOUR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN MIXED RIGHT.
