The testing was conducted at room temperature and performed with reference to the above test methods. Before testing, the samples were inkjet printed and laser printed. 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 74 oz/inch width.
