DigiPrime® 060 is available in pails of 18Kg.
DigiPrime® 060 is a water-based, press-ready primer. It is very stable, with a shelf life of 12 months if stored unopened at moderate temperatures above 0°C. The primer must be protected from freezing. If frozen, it is possible that grit or gels may be found in the product and it should not be used.
In the priming unit on the HP Indigo machine, you will find space for 2 pails of 18 liters each. One tank should be filled with deionized water and the second one should be filled with primer (DigiPrime® 060).
The new ILP cleaning cycles prevent primer from drying on the coating roller and anilox. If the primer happens to dry and forms an insoluble film for any reason, use IPA or hot water to remove the dried primer from the coating roller or anilox. Never use any other cleaning agent. If you want to use a cleaning agent, please contact Michelman.
For successful priming of your substrate and good adhesion of the ink, it is important to follow HP recommendations. Please refer to HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press “User Guide” (reference CA494-08660) or contact your HP representative.
