Texsource Casper White

The all new Casper White ink from Texsource is formulated to make printing opaque white easy.  New low-cure formulation allows curing from 300°F to 325°F.  Hand printing is less tiring because less squeegee pressure is needed. The result is an improved operator performance due to superior ink rheology. Automatic equipment can be adjusted to lower pressure settings, thus improving screen life, squeegee durability and overall print quality.

Casper White is a low bleed ink, not a non-bleed ink. On some types of fabric, bleeding or dye migration may occur. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning production. It is best to do some long-term testing on fabrics to determine if they are going to bleed.  Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.

FEATURES

• Casper White is an excellent low bleed, high pigment, fast
  flashing, low tack, non-phthalate plastisol screen printing ink.
• Casper White has a super creamy viscosity and medium body, making the ink
  suitable for both auto and manual presses.
• Casper White offers superior performance through fast production speeds,
  exceptional brightness, excellent opacity, and low-sheen finish.
• Casper White can be cured across a range of temperatures; from 300°F to 325°F (149°C to 163°C).
• Casper White has low-cure, low-bleed properties that help stem dye migration on cotton/poly blends as well as on most polyester substrates.

Casper White  will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack. Dwell time depends on the spot dryer used. In some cases, you may have to lower the heat of the spot cure unit because too much heat may make the ink tacky. When you spot dry, you are only partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should just dry to the touch, with no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing the underprint white may cause inter-coat adhesion problems with the inks printed on top of the white ink. Final fusing or curing occurs in the dryer.
