POOR PRINT RESISTANCE

Tendency of paint film to take on the imprint of an object that is placed on it (e.g., a shelf, table, window sill or counter top with books, dishes and other objects on them). 

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

• Use of low quality semigloss or gloss paint.
• Putting a painted surface back into use before paint has fully dried.

SOLUTION:

• Use top quality acrylic semigloss or gloss latex paint.
• Low quality latex semigloss and gloss paints can have poor print resistance, especially in warm, damp conditions.
• Acrylic latex paints generally have better print resistance than vinyl latex paints.
• Fully cured alkyd paints also have excellent print resistance.
• Make sure the recommended “cure” time is allowed for the paint before it is put into service. Cool or humid conditions require more curing time.
