Description

What Is NXG-30 Mixing Clear Used For?

TW Graphics NXG-30 Mixing Clear is a professional-grade UV clear mixing base used to:

Reduce color strength
Increase ink transparency
Create custom color blends
Improve process color control
Adjust opacity levels
Extend ink for specialty effects

It is commonly used in color matching and custom ink formulation when precise shade control is required.

If you produce:

Corporate brand colors
Custom signage
Multi-color graphics
Process printing blends
Specialty translucent effects

NXG-30 Mixing Clear is built for those applications.

Designed for Sign Shops & Production Screen Printers:

Part of the trusted TW Graphics NXG UV ink system, NXG-30 is a one-component, press-ready UV clear base formulated for smooth blending and consistent production performance. It maintains stable viscosity during long production runs and does not compromise UV curing characteristics when properly mixed.

This product is commonly used as a:

UV mixing clear screen printing ink
UV clear mixing base
UV ink reducer base
UV tinting base
UV clear ink for plastics

It allows printers to fine-tune ink performance without introducing solvent-based chemistry.

Where It Performs Best:

NXG-30 Mixing Clear is compatible with:

TW Graphics NXG Standard Colors
TW Graphics NXG Fluorescent Colors
Plastics including PE, HDPE, PC, and styrene
Pressure-sensitive and static cling vinyl
Coated board and paper stocks
Corrugated plastic (Coroplast™)

Always test mixtures for adhesion and cure performance before full production.

How It Cures:

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

NXG-30 cures under focused medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps in the 250–360nm spectral range. Typical UV energy requirements range from 150–300 mJ/cm² at 365nm depending on film thickness.

Under proper UV settings, the ink typically cures in a single lamp pass at production belt speeds of 50–75 feet per minute.

Pantone Equivalent:

Pantone Match – N/A (Clear Mixing Base)
Color Type – Clear UV base
Note – This product is a non-pigmented clear base designed for mixing and tinting applications.

Why Screen Printers Choose NXG Mixing Clear:

Custom color control – Adjust tint strength and transparency
Maintains cure performance – Compatible with NXG UV chemistry
Stable viscosity – Consistent blending and press performance
Production ready – Press-ready clear base
Broad compatibility – Works across NXG ink system

NXG-30 Mixing Clear is essential for printers who require precision color control and flexible ink modification.

Nazdar® Cross-Reference – Comparable UV Clear Base

Looking for a Nazdar 3500 Series Clear alternative?

TW Graphics NXG-30 Mixing Clear is comparable in function and application to Nazdar 3500 Series clear bases. Both are UV-curable clear inks designed for tinting, extending, and adjusting opacity within UV screen printing systems.

Like Nazdar 3500 clear bases, NXG-30:

Is a press-ready UV clear base
Cures under medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps
Is designed for plastics, vinyl, polyethylene, styrene, coated board, and Coroplast
Is used for color modification and custom blending

As with any formulation adjustment, test cure and adhesion before 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 count: 230-355 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.
