Printing on Acrylic

I recently tried out something new and I have branched out into printing on acrylic! I purchased some gloss and vinyl screen ink in order to print onto the acrylic so that there is less chance of the ink being washed off or scratched off. I am really pleased with the outcome of the sample and I am now willing to offer this as a service in my business.

There are a couple of down sides though to printing with vinyl inks, firstly you have to use a thinner with the ink to stop it drying soo quickly (which means wearing a mask). The ink can also be hard to wash off your screen and squeege so you have to work quickly (and use some more thinner to remove it from the screen). It is safe to though that the ink on the acrylic isn't going anywhere.
