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.
