Union Ink MIXE3007 EF MIXOPAKE Red B/S Instructions:
Stencils: Use any direct emulsion or capillary film compatible with plastisol inks Additives: We do not recommend reducing Mixopake inks when printing on dark fabrics as this will reduce the opacity of the finished print. If necessary, reduce with 5-10% of Reducer (PLRE9000).
When printing on light coloured fabrics you may add Extender Base or Soft-hand Base in a ratio of up to three parts base to one part ink. This will reduce the opacity of the ink and result in a softer hand however, the colour will not be changed.
Colour Mixing Instructions: The formulas and instructions for simulating the standard PANTONE° colours and the Union Ink standard colours are available free after registering at www.unionink.com.
Printing on Cotton / Polyester Blends: For excellent results on cotton / polyester blended fabrics, substitute MIXE Low Bleed colours for the standard Mixopake colours.
Alternately, the regular colours can be printed over a low-bleed underbase white such as PLHE1070 Diamond White and PLHE1050 Mercury Low Bleed White
Whites. Overprint Mixopake inks through 140-305 (55-120 metric) monofilament mesh. Curing Instructions: These inks will fully cure when the entire thickness of ink layer reaches 149°C.
