Severe print removal, print is barely legible* n/a n/a no visible effect Based on internal testing results, 800 hours in the Weatherometer is approximately equivalent to one year of outdoor exposure in Wisconsin. *print can be rubbed off with finger PERFORMANCE PROPERTY CHEMICAL RESISTANCE B593 white printed with the R6000 Series and R6000HF Series ribbons and B593 black printed with the R4400 white series ribbon, and dwelled 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical reagent followed by 30 minute recovery periods. After final immersion, samples rubbed 10 times with cotton swab saturated with test fluid.
