Create custom colors by tinting with AquaTint Pigments (5-10% by weight).  Effect will appear after properly curing the ink.

Recommended Fabrics
100% Cotton

Ink Application
Thoroughly mix AquaTint Pigments into Hydra Cracking Base E. Create your own ink colors or use the online Virus Mixing System to create Pantone® color matches for light and dark garments. "Dark garment" color formulas are designed to be printed on top of a white underbase, regardless of the garment color. If no underbase will be printed, use a "light garment" color formula. Once pigments are thoroughly mixed into the base, ink should be printed right from the container without modification. If additives are needed, select from the suitable additives below (all additives listed are Formaldehyde and Phthalate Free):

  • Reduce Viscosity: Add 3% of HYDRA REDUCER 120
  • Further Improve Screen Stability: Add 3-5% HYDRACRYL RETARDER
