Recommended Substrates
Cotton, cotton blends, polyesters, and some nylon (generally open weave or mesh types) as well as other synthetics.
Mesh: Use 60-110 mesh
Curing: Gel or flash-cure: Approximately 230 Degrees F
Full cure: 320 Degrees F
Fusion tests should be made prior to any production run. Failure to cure properly causes poor wash fastness, inferior adhesion and increased dye migration.
Opacity : Medium
Tension: 15-20 acceptable, 25-35 recommended
Squeegee type: 60-80 durometer. Dual (70/90) or triple (70/90/70)
Squeegee blade: Sharp
Squeegee angle: 10 to 20 degrees
Squeegee Pressure: Avoid excess pressure
Squeegee speed: Medium to Fast
Wash-Up: ECO5000, ECO3000 or ECO4440 or any other plastisol ink degrader / on press wash.
Stencil: CBX7700 or CBX7500 is recommended but will work with Any Conventional direct emulsion or capillary films. For a heavier deposit of ink, 2 coats inside and 2 coats outside will provide a thicker stencil and thicker ink deposit.
