ABM is a matting paste for use with all 1-component Marabu screen and pad printing inks. When added, AMB will change the degree of gloss in the ink making it appear dull or matte. Th paste roughens the ink's surface, reducing light reflection, making the surface look matt. When applied in larger amounts, ABM will reduce both ink opacity and resistance to abrasion, however, it is not recommended for use with 2-component inks.
