3. Technical Information<\/h4>\n
Surface Drying and Curing Temperatures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Surface Drying Temperature<\/strong>: Typically begins crosslinking at 80 – 120\u00b0C. At this stage, the ink starts to partially cure but is not fully dry.<\/li>\n
- Curing Temperature<\/strong>: Full curing occurs at 140 – 160\u00b0C. If the temperature is too low, the ink may not cure completely, affecting print durability and quality; if too high, it can alter the ink’s properties or damage the fabric. Therefore, strict temperature control is essential for optimal curing results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Recommended Mesh Counts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Four-Color Printing<\/strong>: 250 – 350 mesh for accurate color representation.<\/li>\n
- Halftone Effects<\/strong>: 160 – 250 mesh for achieving desired effects.<\/li>\n
- High Opacity\/Inked Foaming<\/strong>: 80 – 230 mesh for adequate coverage.<\/li>\n
- Metallic Effects<\/strong>: 100 – 130 mesh for even distribution of metallic particles.<\/li>\n
- Glitter<\/strong>: 30 – 40 mesh for maximum glitter visibility.<\/li>\n
- Reflective<\/strong>: 81 – 110 mesh for effective light reflection.<\/li>\n
- 3D Effects<\/strong>: 80 – 100 mesh for creating raised textures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Squeegee Recommendations<\/strong>
\nA squeegee with a hardness of 70 degrees and an angle between 40 – 60 degrees is advisable. For high-opacity inks, consider reducing the squeegee hardness to 60 – 65 degrees to ensure even application. Adjustments should be made based on ink properties and printing requirements to ensure quality and stability.<\/p>\n4. Recommended Fabrics and Precautions<\/h4>\n
Suitable Fabrics<\/strong>
\nHigh Density Plastisol Ink is ideal for fabrics that can withstand temperatures of 150\u00b0C and have breathability, such as 100% cotton, cotton\/polyester blends, and denim. These fabrics provide good heat resistance and allow the ink to penetrate adequately for a strong print.<\/p>\nFabrics to Avoid<\/strong>
\nThis ink is not suitable for non-breathable or high-temperature-sensitive materials like plastic, metal, glass, or water-repellent nylon. It should also be avoided on thin, elastic fabrics like spandex or lycra to prevent cracking and ensure durability.<\/p>\n5. Printing Techniques<\/h4>\n
Printing Techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Film Selection<\/strong>: Use specialized films designed for High Density Plastisol Ink for precise pattern reproduction, ensuring no loss of dot detail during exposure.<\/li>\n
- Printing Sequence<\/strong>:\n
\n- Light Fabrics<\/strong>: Print light colors first, then dark colors (continuous printing), followed by curing at 160\u00b0C. This sequence ensures good adhesion between inks while preventing color bleeding and maintaining quality.<\/li>\n
- Dark Fabrics<\/strong>: Start with a white underbase, curing to half-dry at 120 – 140\u00b0C, then print colors, followed by full curing. This improves color vibrancy and opacity on dark backgrounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Additives<\/strong>: Choose suitable ink series and additives based on fabric type and desired effects. For nylon, use elastic additives to enhance flexibility; for prone-to-bleeding TC fabrics, a bleed-resistant white underbase is advisable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
