Paramount White by International Coatings 7041 Paramount White is an ultra-low bleed, high-pigment, non-phthalate plastisol ink designed specifically to block dye migration on polyester and problem fabrics. It is formulated for high-quality, fast-flashing prints, offering excellent performance while preventing fabric discoloration. Key Features • Ultra-Low Bleed: Minimizes dye migration on polyester fabrics, helping to maintain print integrity. • Creamy Viscosity: Easy to print with minimal pressure, making it ideal for automatic presses. • Low Tack: Features a low tack finish for clean printing without excessive build-up. • Non-Phthalate: Environmentally friendly and compliant with safety standards. Ink Application • Spot Flashing: Spot drying should be done at a lower heat to avoid making the ink tacky. Flash until dry to the touch, then cure in the dryer. • Print Pressure: Avoid excessive pressure when printing, as it may reduce opacity. Only apply necessary pressure to clear the screen. • Reducers and Additives: Caution is advised when adding reducers, as they can reduce opacity and affect performance. Screen Mesh • Recommended mesh count is 110 to 230 t/in (43 to 90 t/cm) monofilament for optimal results. Curing • Cure Temperature: 325°F (163°C) for full curing of the ink film. • Dryer Testing: Always test dryer temperatures and perform wash tests before and during production to ensure proper curing and adhesion.
