PRINTING TIPS
- Use 3-5 parts Libra™ Catalyst and 0.5-2 parts Libra™ Retardant to 100 parts 80:20 base/pigment. Mix well and print. To prevent wastage only catalyze what is need to print for 4 hours.
- For improved adhesion on difficult fabric, use 6 parts Libra™ Catalyst and 0.5 parts Libra™ Retardant to 100 parts Barrier Clear Part A. Print through 80-110t/in (31-43 t/cm) mesh screen then follow with the standard barrier formula described above.
- Use 80-160t/in (31-62t/cm) mesh screens for best performance.
- Print with 1/16” or 2mm off contact.
- Print two strokes to ensure the mesh is clear and you have a good ink deposit.
- Flash between prints.
- Clean the stencil area when stopped to prevent screen blockages.
- Prints should be cured at 270°F /132°C for 60 seconds. Check the cure temp at the ink surface.
