FX PLUSH BASE is specifically formulated to produce soft fashion textures that simulate chenille, velvet, flock, suede and other textured fabric finishes. Various textured and embossed surfaces can be produced by adjusting ink deposit and cure temperatures.

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
