		<description><![CDATA[Hi Diana,
Thank you for contacting us.  Unfortunately, our retroreflective inks and transfers are made for textile screen printing.  Both the ink and the transfer paper adhesive need to be heat cured (320F), so I&#039;m not sure if they would be good for a billboard - depending on what the billboard material is made of.

Diana, we partner with Viz Refelective, who supplies the reflective beads to us.  They may have other materials that may fit more for you.  I remember they sent us a sheet of reflective materials a couple of years back, that they overprinted with a scene of the London skyline.  When you shine a light on it in the dark, it reflected back.  I&#039;m not sure if they still have that material, but you could try contacting them.  

Here is their contact info:

Contact:  Nick Rowbottom

Hope this helps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi
I want to produce a billboard that has images on in the day and then other images seen at night - prefereably when car lights shine on it.
Is this possible and would the normal ink not be seen in the night?
Are there digital reflective inks or only s/s inks?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Lynn,

Yes, you can use the 7113 Performance Pro White or any other color that is in the 7100 Performance Pro Series.  You do not need to use a catalyst to print on 100% polyester.  I&#039;m not familiar with the Holloway(Adrenaline style) jackets, but before proceeding, just check the the jacket label to make sure that it is 100% polyester.

The 7113 and the 7100 series cure at 285 F-300 F, which is a lower temperature than our regular inks.  Please be sure to NOT overcure this ink.

Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jose,
Sorry for the delayed response to your question.

The question you ask is difficult to answer specifically because of the many variables in the screen-printing process.  Some of the variables are:

1.  Size of the design (bigger designs require more ink).

2.  Screen mesh used (more open mesh will lay down more ink than a finer mesh).

3.  Type of squeegee used (harder squeegee will lay down less ink than a softer squeegee).

4.  Hardness of the printing pallet (a softer pallet will generally result in laying down more ink).

5.  Whether you double hit a color such as when you do a print-flash-print for maximum opacity.

There are other variables as well, but these are the main ones.  As a general guide, a gallon of a typical plastisol ink printed through a 110-mesh will give you about 1600 sq. ft. of coverage.

I hope this information helps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don&#039;t sell direct, but you can get our inks through our network of distributors.  Here is the link to our distributor locator tool:  http://www.iccink.com/distributorlocator.htm.  Just put your zip code in and it&#039;ll give you the nearest distributor location.  Let us know if you have any problems.

Thank you!]]></description>
