LFP inks print well through screen meshes in the range of 83-305 TPI (32-120 TPcm). Use just enough squeegee pressure to deposit the ink on the surface of the shirt. A 70 - 80 or 70/90/70 durometer sharp squeegee is recommended. Stencil: Use any direct emulsion or capillary film. Modifiers: All LFP inks are ready to use. They can be extended using WOW-1001 Halftone Base or WOW-1015 Softee Base. Opacity may be affected. Cleanup: Use any of the commercially available products for the cleanup of plastisol inks. Environmentally Friendly: QCM Plastisol Ink contains no leaded pigments and, when properly disposed of, has no environmental impact. Use a screen wash for plastisols for cleanup. Scrape screens carefully and store ink for reuse. Minimize unusable scrap ink by segregating ink by color.
