• Good elasticity
• Soft touch
• Phthalate-free

Direct and transfer textile printing. For ready-to-wear or pre-cut articles.

 Preparation

Ready-to-use ink.

• Homogenize well, before using it. The colors may be all mixed among them with each ratio. It is however recommended not to mix more than 3 bases together at a time. When realizing pale/light colors, it is recommended to check their steadiness during time.
• The possible addition of Texiplast Viscosity reducer allows to reduce ink viscosity.
• The possible addition of Texiplast Low Cure
• Additive (Max 6% by weight to ink) allows to reduce curing temperature.
• Adding too much additives may affect curing, or increase dye migration.
• ALWAYS check performances before run production.

 Application

• For the best color opacity and brightness, during printing, it is recommended to adjust the out of contact and the pressure of the squeegee at their best, in order to obtain an ink film that can remain onto the surface of the substrate.
• The opacity is influenced by the kind of drawing, the th/cm screen number, the squeegee, the pressure and the printing speed.

 Curing

• Curing must take place at 150°C – 160°C for 3 minutes.
• Texiplast are thermoplastic inks: only an appropriate curing is able to allow the complete ink fusion, therefore the achievement of the required final characteristics.

Special instruction

• Always test the print characteristics, before starting production.
• Always check curing conditions. The addition of additives could require higher temperature or longer time.
• Plastisol inks do not resist dry cleaning, bleaching and ironing.
• The inks of the series Texiplast 7 OP are phthalate-free.
• Before using them, make sure that squeegees, scrapers, screens and cans have been cleaned well from possible rests of other plastisol series.
• In that way, possible “pollution”, deriving from other ink series, can be avoided. 

 Equipment

Indicated for using onto automatic, semiautomatic and manual machines.
