B-508 white samples were also laser marked with a 10 watt fiber laser. Samples were dwelled a minimum of 24 hours before testing. Test conducted at room temperature. Testing consisted of 30 minute fluid immersion. After immersion, the printed image was rubbed on 10 times with a cotton swab saturated with the test fluid. The rating scale below shows the effect to the quality of the print and topcoat, if applicable, for each sample. Unless noted, results are the same for the white and yellow topcoats.
