Last week, we held our Marabu Partner Meeting at our headquarters in Tamm, Germany. For two days, we discussed the latest trends and innovations in industries such as automotive, packaging, textiles, and more with our distributors and sales partners from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It was great seeing so many of our sales partners in person. The meeting was helpful for us all, as we continue striving to be an innovative ink manufacturer and top service provider for our customers.

In this video, our allround retarders SV5 and SV3 are shown. SV3 shows a significantly longer delay compared to the SV5 retardation profile.
For a longer mesh open time, we recommend our SV3 hardener.
Our portfolio offers a wide range of hardeners with different properties to meet diverse application needs.

Adding retarders to screen printing inks can significantly influence their drying behavior and overall performance. Retarders slow down solvent ev***ration, improving flow, leveling, and open screen time. This helps to prevent ink drying in the mesh, reduces clogging, and ensures consistent print quality, especially in warm or fast-drying conditions.

The use of retarders can also affect adhesion, surface smoothness, and block resistance, depending on the formulation and application. Marabu offers a range of retarders designed for different ink systems and printing requirements.

Detailed recommendations for suitable retarders can be found in the technical data sheet of each ink or in our overview documents.

In screen printing you can use retarders to achieve a significantly slower ev***ration rate, helping to keep the mesh open longer – a crucial factor when printing fine details and halftones.
At the same time, they influence:
- Drying speed
- Block resistance
- Ink viscosity
Retarders are typically added to thinners when higher print quality or slower production speeds are required.
Important: Selection should always be aligned with the ink system and substrate to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

Retarders slow down ink drying in screen and pad printing and they fundamentally influence flow, leveling, and process stability. In this video Dimitri Adler gives you an overview about the different Marabu retarders and their added value. For example the retarders SV3 vs. SV5 can behave very differently, especially in terms of retardation intensity and consistency.

Understanding these nuances is key when tuning formulations or optimizing application processes. Small changes can have a big impact on the final result.

Solvent-based inks need to be adjusted before printing and that’s where our thinners come in.
In this short video, we show:
• how different thinners affect flow and ev***ration
• why choosing the right thinner is important
We also demonstrate which solution fits different applications.
Take a look and find the right match for your next print job.

Adding thinners to screen printing inks can affect their performance in many ways, such as viscosity, flow properties, mesh opening, drying speed, block resistance, and solvent and dissolving power. It can also affect adhesion to the substrate to a large degree. Marabu offers a wide range of thinners for various applications. You can find the suitable thinner for your ink in its technical data sheet on our website or in this document, which provides a general overview:https://www.marabu-inks.com/fileadmin/marabu-druckfarben/PDFs/TechInfos/Auxiliaries_solvent-based_Screen_TI_GB_0123.pdf

To improve ink flow on the screen and ensure sufficient printing of fine details, add thinner to your two-component screen printing ink. This video shows the impact of thinner on the viscosity of screen printing ink. If you use thinner, stir well and add the appropriate amount to the ink.
