Printing Tips
- Use consistent, high-tensioned screen mesh and sharp edged squeegees for best print results
- When blended according to formulations, colours will vary in opacity from translucent to semi opaque
- Exhibits good colour reproduction on white garment and over a base plate. For some colours, base mixing systems are limited in colour saturation and may require an increased ink deposit or formula adjustment to achieve accurate colour
- EPIC MX Mixing Colours is not a low-bleed ink; when printing on fabrics that are prone to bleed underbase with an approved Wilflex low bleed white and/or blocker
- Exhibits good colour retention in high-speed wet-on-wet production with exceptional resistance to build up
- Adjust flash cure temperature and dwell time so ink is just dry to touch. Depending on flash unit, a 2 - 3 second flash is adequate
