- Suitable for high density or conventional flat screens
- Tintable for infinite color combinations
- Excellent adhesion to fabrics, stretch properties, and wash durability
PRINTING TIPS
- Use consistent, high-tensioned screen mesh and sharp edged squeegees for best print results. Recommended mesh counts can vary depending on particle size
- For best HD results, use open mesh counts with 200 - 400 micron capillary film and print-flashprint. Use a heavy flood to fully fill the open areas of the stencil with ink then print with medium squeegee pressure
- Heavier ink deposits will produce superior dimensional textured images. Lower ink deposits will produce a softer finish
- Best results when printed directly onto fabric
- Tintable with plastisol colorants. See Pigment Loading section for suggested starting tinting percentages. Reduce the amount of white colorant in the formula as specialty base will lighten the color
