Opaque plastisol designed for 100%
cotton, dark, garments. Select colors are low-bleed inks for
synthetics. Use 83-110 mesh. Maxopakes do not have a blowing agent,
and will feel smooth after curing. Stir thoroughly before using. Vigorous
stirring will loosen up ink making it easier to print. The ink can
also be made easier to print by blending with the same color from a
different ink series that has less pigment, e.g. the medium pigmented
UltraSoft or Unimatch ink systems. Use 80% Maxopake with 20% from the
medium pigmented ink system. Printing is also when screens are very
tight, i.e. recently re-tensioned mesh in a Newman frame, and the
off-contact distance is maintained with a small piece of cardboard on
the neck of the platen. Opacity can be increased by using capillary
film rather than liquid emulsion. |
