Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Method
- Cure Method
- Spot Flashing
711 Classic WhiteTM will spot dry, with a very low after a flash tack. Dwell time is dependent on the spot dryer used. In some cases, you may have to lower the heat of the spot cure unit because too much heat may make the ink tacky. When you spot dry, you are only partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should just be just dry to the touch, with no lift-off, but not fused. Fusing the underprint white may cause inter-coat adhesion problems with the inks printed on top of the white ink. Final fusing or curing should occur in the dryer.
- Important Information
711 Classic White™ is a low bleed ink, not a non-bleed ink. On some types of fabric, bleeding or dye migration may occur. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning production. It is best to do some long-term testing on fabrics to determine if they are going to bleed. Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.
711 Classic White™ was formulated to make printing opaque white easy. technology helps make hand printing less tiring because less squeegee pressure is needed. The result is improved operator performance. Automatic equipment can be adjusted to lower pressure settings, thus improving screen life and squeegee durability.
711 Classic White™ compared to other opaques whites, prints so easy that a finer screen mesh can be used for the same opacity as a lower mesh count.
Ghosting, or fabric discoloration, should not occur when using this product on 100% cotton fabrics. Always test for ghosting, dye migration or bleeding on any 100% cotton fabric before beginning production.
Adding any reducers or additives can lower bleed resistance, reduce opacity, or increase cure times of the ink. STIR the ink before printing on press and after the addition of reducers or additives.
Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run.
