Printing
To obtain best results use decent tension screens 34T/(80) to 90T/(230) both for manual printing and automatic presses – best results with a sharp squeegee blade.
Additives
- Cold Cure Catalyst (for cold curing, or assisting wash resistance)
- Retarder (to slow down the drying of ink on the screen)
Clean up
Please use Water or Franmar Aqua wash or Multipurpose Ink Remover. Easisolv 701 is useful to clean up and remove stains.
Curing
Water Based Inks are cured at 165°C ideally for 2-3 minutes. Printed garments need to be passed through a quality dryer and the ink film needs to reach the desired temperature and maintained for a fixed time, variables such as garment thickness and colour, ink deposit and operating climate will need to be taken into account when setting your oven parameters. Always wash test production to ensure prints are adequately cured.
