- Recommendations
Stir plastisol ink before printing. Any modifiers and additives should be mixed in clean containers using clean mixer blades and ink knives. Any contamination from other ink sources could make the ink test positive for restricted phthalates. Do not dry clean, iron or bleach the printed image. Perform fusion tests before production. Failure to cure ink properly can result in poor wash fastness, inferior adhesion, and unacceptable durability. Adjust flash cure temperature and dwell time so ink is just dry to touch. Avoid excessive flash temperatures. If surface is hot and tacky, the ink film has been over flashed. Reduce temperature or time to prevent an inter-coat adhesion problem. Curing is a time and temperature process, a lower oven temperature setting with a slower belt speed while maintaining recommended ink cure temperature is always best to protect fabric and reduce energy consumption. Yeti Cotton White can be cured between 300°F - 320°F. Running at higher temperatures and/or longer dwell times maybe required to achieve proper cure on jobs that contain high ink deposits or heavy weight garments.
