Dark garments. Direct printing. 100% cotton or cotton/polyester.*
Stencils: Use any direct emulsion or capillary film compatible with plastisol inks.
Additives: Maxopake inks are supplied ready to print. If necessary to reduce viscosity, use up to 15% by weight, of Reducer/Detackifier (PLRE9000).
Printing Instructions: Multiple strokes may be required when printing by hand. When printing with automatic presses use a slightly rounded squeegee to print a thicker ink layer. A soft pad on the printing pallet will minimize penetration into the garment and improve opacity. Curing
Union Ink PADE2064 EF MAXOPAKE Orange Instructions: These inks will fully cure when the entire thickness of the ink deposit reaches 300°F (149°C).

Recommendation:
Caution: High opacity inks may crock. Red pigmented inks are especially subject to this problem. To control or reduce crocking, add up to 10-15% by weight of Extender Base (PADE / MIXE-9090). Always test this product for curing, adhesion, crocking, opacity, washability and other specifi c requirements before using in production.
