Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Details
- Squeegee Hardness & Angle: Medium to hard at a 45 degree angle.
- Flashing: 700°F for 8 seconds, just enough so the surface is tack free.
- 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.
- 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.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Ideally 65 to 80°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
