Technical Specifications

Inktek LB405 Athletic Gold Plastisol Ink Application:

  1. Substrates: Best suited for 100% Cotton and Cotton/Blends. When printing on 100% polyester, it is highly recommended to use a blocker to prevent dye migration and achieve optimal results. Always ensure the material is clean and free from any contaminants before printing.
  2. Mesh Selection: Choose meshes between 86 – 305 Monofilaments based on the desired ink deposit and design detail.
  3. Gel Temperature (Gel Temp.): Your ink should achieve a gel temperature between 155° – 165°F, ensuring that the ink has gelled properly before proceeding to the fusion stage.
  4. Fusion: Cure the ink at a starting temperature of 280°F for a minimum of 1 minute 30 seconds. To expedite the curing process, you can elevate the temperature. However, bear in mind that temperatures exceeding 300°F elevate the risk of dye migration, which can compromise the print’s quality.
  5. Application Technique: Employ the direct printing method. This ink’s high opacity facilitates efficient wet on wet printing. Ensure each layer gels correctly before overprinting.
  6. Ink Modification: If you require adjustments to the ink, various additives are available for use. These include curable reducer, process clear, stretch additive, fashion base, finesse base, and more.

Storage Information:

  • Safely store your Plastisol Ink between 65-90°F (18-32°C).
  • Keep away from direct sunlight to maintain the ink’s consistency and active properties.
  • For peak performance, utilize the ink within one year from its manufacturing date.

Features of Inktek LB405 Athletic Gold Plastisol Ink:

Note: Always begin with a pre-test before embarking on a full production run. This ensures you achieve your anticipated results and minimizes wastage. After printing, consistently test the material to confirm the ink has thoroughly fused, assuring the print’s durability and quality. River City Supply and its affiliates bear no responsibility for the misuse of the product. It is the printer’s sole responsibility to test and ascertain that the ink delivers the expected results prior to conducting a comprehensive print run. When printing on 100% polyester, it’s always advisable to utilize a blocker to mitigate dye migration.
