Before testing, the sample was printed using the PDLR-113 ribbon. The samples were cut 1 wide and were applied to stainless steel panels and conditioned for 24 hours. The samples were then immersed in the specified reagents for 5 immersions using the following cycle: a 10 minute immersion time followed by a 30 minute recovery time. After the fifth immersion, the samples were conditioned for 24 hours before testing. Percent retention of performance was based on a 48 hour adhesion value of 83 oz/inch (silver) and 74 oz/inch (white). Note:PRO is Percent Retention of Performance.
