Semi auto printer is recommended for the paste, the reducer should be added with very little quantities such that the characteristics of the paste will not change.


Jeff from electrica sent the following email:


Hi Haitham,
 I looked into screen printing equipment and found a manufacture by the name of M&R Printing, 
 if you go on the internet and type that in you can look to see if they have something that would fit. 
Other than that I know some people have used equipment.  With regards to the SW100 we have a material that is the same which is    
 our Additive T.  If you need a pint of that testing let me know.
Hope this helps
Jeff


I looked at the website related to printing equipments, they have many choices but I still need to discuss more about what do we need exactly.

I sent to him to send us additive T instead of SW100.


Nov.18

I called Jeff asking about the additive T , he is requesting a sample, since it comes usually in 65 gallon per sample. Also the sample will be sent to Tony Forest, Physics Department.
