To ensure optimal ink performance, additives play a vital role. Fast Thinner is crucial for adjusting ink viscosity, making it easier to manage during the printing process and ensuring smooth ink flow through the screen. Retarder is another important additive, slowing down the drying time of the ink, which is particularly useful in hot or dry environments, preventing the ink from drying on the screen and causing blockages.

The drying time of MPS Series inks is typically between 15 to 20 minutes, a balance that allows for efficient production without compromising print quality. This drying characteristic is suitable for a wide range of screen printing applications.
