Printing Tips

• Use any direct emulsion or capillary film compatible with plastisol inks.
• Depending upon the transfer paper used, it may be peeled from the platon immediately after transferring prior to cooling
• In laboratory and field testing Barrier Clear has shown to greatly increase the chances of success when printing troublesome polyester fabrics rough mesh counts of 74-86 (29-34 metric), flash cured at 240°F/115°C and overprinted with another low bleed ink.
• Screens should be tensioned to mesh manufacturer's tensioning recommendations and emulsion applied to screen building up the print side to increase ink deposit ad edge sharpness of print.
• Off-contact should be set so that screen immediately peels from substrate as squeegee passes through the pint stroke.
• Flash curing and Curing- Barrier Clear will gel when surface of ink film reaches 240°F/115°C. Entire ink film must reach 300°F/150°C to achieve full cure. Thicker ink deposits will require higher temperatures and longer time in oven.
