Test print without screen

Post by electech1 »

I make tags of all kinds for various things, pet id tags, industrial tags etc.

I am looking for an ink to put on stainless steel tags. Is there a way for me to test inks before going to a
screen printer? I want to test for wear in an industrial enviroment.
I will only be doing a few tags and am curious if I can test without actually having the tags screened. I am not ready to pay for the screens and am not even sure what symbols the customer wants yet. Just need to see if the tag will hold up with printing on them in this application. The varible text will eventually be laser marked but the other markings need to be in color and I can't do that yet with my laser!!


Any recommendations on the ink for stainless, it will be a brushed stainless, not sure of the exact type.

Thanks

steve
