At first i was certain it is just a matter of boiling off all water, but
now i know i was wrong because the effect starts at above 200C. Maybe it
is some other component boiling off - some glycol?
Apart from acting as a etch resist the curing will also make the ink much
more resistant to Acetone. But also air-dried ink will be much more
resistant to acetone after several days then when fresh.
As far as i know we do not know the composition of MISPRO ink. Maybe
someone could request a MSDS?
