Technical Details & Test Data
- Special Notes
PVC inks are thermoplastic compounds that require heat to fuse or cure. If ink rubs off on a white cloth or cracks, temperature and/or dwell time should be increased. Do not dry clean and always test on fabric to be printed. When printing onto garments that have the potential to bleed, a low bleed underlay needs to be utilized.
- Technical Details
- Stencil: Any direct emulsion or capillary film.
- Squeegee Hardness & Angle: Medium to hard at a 45 degree angle. The higher the squeegee pressure is, the softer the feel
- Flashing: Not recommended.
- Fusion/Curing: 325 F/160 C for 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Oven temperature can be increased and dwell time decreased. For heat presses use 390 F/195 C for 8 seconds.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Ideally 65 to 80°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
