Applications
-Direct printing
-Medium to dark colored garments
-Cotton/polyester, 100% polyester
& Nylon garments
Features
-Great body
-Made with non-migrating pigments
-Maintains viscosity during runs
-High opacity for great coverage
General Info:
Low Bleed (LB) inks are formulated to be directly printed onto medium to dark colored, cotton/polyester
blends,100% polyester & nylon garments. These inks provide great coverage and have a creamy body
unlike most bleed resistant inks, therefore making the ease of printing more simple. Please note that tightly
woven nylon garments will require a nylon additive for adhesion.
Mesh: 86-180
Stencil: Any direct emulsion or capillary film.
Wet on Wet Printing: Can be printed wet-on-wet to increase production.
Modifications:
(I10-1020), puff use Puff Additive (I10-9903), extend color use Soft-hand Base (I10-0111) & for suede puff
or dulling use Suede Additive (I10-9907).
To reduce viscosity use Curable Reducer (I10-9906), improve stretch use G&S Base
Squeegee Hardness & Angle: Medium to hard at a 45 degree angle.
Flashing: º
700 F for 9 seconds, just enough so the surface is tack free.
Squeegee Blade: Sharp.
Fusion/Curing:
be increased and dwell time decreased. For heat presses use 390 F/195 C for 8 seconds.
260 F/127 C to 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Oven temperature can º º
325 F/163 C for
Bleed Resistance: Great
Opacity: High
Storage:
Ideally 65 to 80 F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
Wash-up: Any plastisol cleaner.
Special Notes:
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. WM Poly inks will appear to be thick in the container but will loosen up
and become easier to print when the pallets are hot and the ink has been worked with the squeegee.
