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
