Pad Printing Solvents

Solvents for pad printing inks are specialized chemical additives that adjust viscosity, control drying speed, and enable proper ink transfer from the pad to the substrate. Pad printing ink solvents are also known as thinners or retarders, and they are generally categorized by their evaporation speed, from slow to fast,

Pad printing solvents are compatible with several specific types of inks, and Inkcups offers the following pairings:
