Samples were orange/red (flexo) preprinted and thermal transfer printed with Panduit RMR*BL/RMER*BL ribbon on the Panduit TDP43MY/TDP43ME printer. Separate sets were conditioned for 24 hours before being immersed in the following solvents for a period of 1 hour and 24 hours. After the samples were removed from the immersed solvents, they were rubbed 10 times with a lint free gauze. Visual observations were noted for any smear or loss of legibility. 1 Hour Immersion Visual Observation Chemical/Solvent Ribbon only Colored Flexo Ink Jet Fuel No change No change Gasoline Loss in print density No change Methyl Ethyl Loss in print density Orange/red ink removed Ketone 1:1:1 TCE Loss in print density Orange ink removed Trichloroethylene Loss in print legibility Orange/red ink removed 409 Cleaner No change No change Alpha Flux 200L No change No change 24 Hours Immersion Visual Observation Chemical/Solvent Ribbon only Colored Flexo Ink Isopropyl Alcohol No change Orange ink removed No change No change Water 150 F Salt Water No change No change SAE 30 Motor Oil No change No change Hydraulic Fluid No change No change Skydrol Loss in print legibility Orange ink removed Methanol/Water No change No change Page 2 of 4 2006 PANDUIT Corp TDS: GMY4-HT*
