For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF.
Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.

These measurements are based on a pre-defined and dependable standard of color tables.
Color separations are made based on this information but, once the screens are on press, the color becomes somewhat less standardized.
This hinders the ability of the white base to control the luminosity and the color blending between hues, and is caused by the over-saturation of color through the lack of white or black influences reflecting through the ink.

The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
To make dispersion easier, the color concentrate should have slightly lower viscosity (higher MFI) than the base TPE.
