Description

What Is NXG-16 Warm Red Used For?

TW Graphics NXG-16 Warm Red is formulated for applications requiring a bright, orange-leaning red tone that commands attention in retail and promotional environments.

This UV warm red ink is commonly used for:

  • Retail sale signage
  • Political yard signs
  • Real estate signs
  • POP displays
  • Promotional panels
  • Industrial and safety graphics
  • Menu boards
  • Vinyl decals and stickers

NXG-16 delivers a bold, energetic red tone ideal for promotional graphics and brand-driven signage.

Designed for Sign Shops & Production Screen Printers:

Part of the TW Graphics NXG UV ink system, NXG-16 is engineered for stable viscosity and smooth ink transfer throughout extended production runs. It performs consistently on manual presses and high-speed automated UV lines.

This product is commonly used as a:

  • UV screen printing red ink
  • UV warm red ink for signage
  • UV ink for Coroplast
  • UV red ink for plastics and vinyl
  • Production UV red screen ink

Where It Performs Best:

NXG-16 Warm Red adheres to properly treated substrates including:

  • Treated polyethylene (PE)
  • High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polystyrene / Styrene
  • Pressure-sensitive vinyl
  • Static cling vinyl
  • Reinforced vinyl banners
  • Coated paper and board stocks
  • Corrugated plastic (Coroplast™)

For polyethylene substrates, surface tension should be 42–46 dynes/cm or higher. Always perform adhesion testing before full production runs.

How It Cures:

This is a true UV-curable ink. It does not air dry.

NXG-16 cures under focused medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps in the 250–360nm spectral range.

Typical UV energy requirements:

  • 150–300 mJ/cm² at 365nm (depending on ink film thickness)

Always verify cure using cross-hatch adhesion testing after full cooldown.

Pantone Equivalent:

  • Pantone Match – Pantone Warm Red C (Closest Visual Equivalent)
  • Color Type – Standard warm red
  • Intended Use – Bold promotional and retail signage

Why Screen Printers Choose NXG-16 Warm Red:

  • Vibrant warm tone – Orange-leaning red for high visibility
  • Strong color saturation – Bold coverage on light substrates
  • Stable viscosity – Consistent production performance
  • Broad substrate compatibility – Vinyl, plastics, Coroplast, coated board
  • Fully compatible with NXG UV system – Interprintable with NXG colors

NXG-16 Warm Red is ideal for commercial sign shops producing attention-grabbing promotional signage and display graphics.

Nazdar® Cross-Reference – Comparable UV Warm Red Ink:

Looking for a Nazdar UV red alternative?

TW Graphics NXG-16 Warm Red functions similarly to warm red inks used in Nazdar UV ink systems. Both are UV-curable inks designed for signage, plastics, and display applications.

As with any ink substitution, adhesion and cure testing should be completed prior to full production runs.

How to Use TW Graphics NXG UV Standard Colors

Step 1: Screen Preparation

  • Use a properly tensioned screen for optimal results.
  • Recommended mesh count230-355 tpi (90-140 tpcm), depending on image detail.
  • Coat the screen with a UV-compatible emulsion, ensuring full stencil adhesion.

Step 2: Ink Application

  • Stir the ink thoroughly before use.
  • Print using a 70-80 durometer squeegee with a sharp edge for crisp details.
  • Use a medium squeegee pressure for optimal ink deposition.

Step 3: Curing Process

  • Cure under UV light exposure at 150-300 mJ/cm² for full adhesion.
  • Ensure proper exposure time in the dryer to avoid under-curing.
  • Avoid excessive UV exposure, which can overcure and affect adhesion properties.

Step 4: Testing & Post-Curing Considerations

  • Always perform an adhesion test on a sample print to verify cure levels.
  • Allow the print to cool before stacking or packaging.
  • NXG inks are designed for optimal adhesion, but post-treatment options (such as flame or corona treatment) may be required for certain non-porous substrates.

Recommended Printing Substrates:

✅ Plastics & Synthetics: Treated Polyethylene, HDPE, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene (Styrene), Static Cling Vinyl
✅ Rigid Boards & Papers: Coated Board Stocks, Cardstock, Pressure-Sensitive Vinyl
✅ Banners & Signage: Reinforced Vinyl Banners, Coroplast™, Transit & Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠ Important Notes:

  • This ink requires UV curing and will not air-dry.
  • Do not mix with solvent-based inks or non-UV-compatible additives.
  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

TW Graphics NXG UV Standard Colors deliver fast-curing, high-adhesion, and long-lasting performance, making them the perfect choice for screen printers working with plastic, vinyl, banners, and signage applications.
