  • Can be used on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blend fabrics
  • A longer drying time or increased temperature will also change the texturing

  • Ideal for adding special effects or texture to a design
  • Printing on textured surfaces and/or with larger ink deposits can be used to achieve multiple and varied special effects

Recommended Fabrics:
100% Cotton and some cotton/polyester blends. Pre-print and test all fabrics for dye migration, ink adhesion, wash fastness and other desired properties before beginning any production.

Ink Modifiers:
Not Recommended

Screen Mesh:
Ink-deposit thickness will be determined by thread size and stencil thickness. For most heavy-deposit screens use a mesh count in the 60-110 t/in range. Follow manufacturer's recommended tension for mesh used.

Emulsion:
Direct/indirect capillary films should be used. For best results, choose a thickness between 200 and 400 microns. Stencil films purchased at required thickness levels allow for better control of ink deposit. Exposure times should be calculated for best results.

Squeegee:
70-80 Durometer

Cure Temperature:
325°F - The efficiency of the oven and length of heat tunnel will determine oven dwell time. Dwell time should be increased with a thick ink deposit. Failure to fuse ink properly may cause cracking, poor adhesion and poor wash fastness.

Clean-Up:
Any environmentally safe plastisol screen wash.

Storage:
Recommended storage at 65°F to 90°F. Avoid direct sunlight and keep containers well sealed.
