CHEMICAL/SOLVENT RESISTANCE: The testing was conducted at room temperature. Samples were thermal transfer printed with RMR*BL/RMER*bl black resin ribbon on the Panduit TDP43MY/TDP43ME printer. Separate sets were conditioned for 24 hours before being immersed in the following solvents. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical reagent followed by a 30 minute recovery period. After final immersion, samples were rubbed 10 times with a cotton swab saturated with the test fluid. Visual observations were noted for any smear or loss of legibility.
