To achieve ideal adhesion of ink to rubber ,make sure you clean the silicone rubber surfaces to remove dirts or dust, rub the sand paper against rubber surfaces if rubber had extra coating on it which affect adhesion and don’t forget get the silicone rubber hot before printing on with ink

No addition or less addition of catalysts render ink hard to dry in baking process

Please add (10%±3%) solvent, adding solvent over this proportion to save cost will result in poor color appearance
