5GAL - 10988 INFINITE FX LIQUID SILVER

Avient™ Specialty Ink INFINITE FX LIQUIDS are a special effect with a very-fine metallic flake for an opaque, wet metallic chrome or folded gold look with a smooth and soft feel. The liquid Silver and Gold are ready-for-use or can be tinted using plastisol colorants for a custom look.

PRINTING TIPS

Stir inks before printing

Use consistent, high-tensions screen mesh to optimize performance properties

Print in last position or flash after each print if using multiple screens

Print direct to fabric or over a flashed-dried base plate. Use a suitable under base when printing on garments prone to bleed

Tintable with plastisol colorants. See Pigment Loading below for suggested tinting percentages. Adjust the % colorant added based on the strength of the colorants and color saturation desired.

Metallics reflect infrared heat and a forced-air dryer is recommended for curing. If using an electric oven, extend dwell time to achieve proper cure.

Curing is a time and temperature process, a lower over-temperature setting with a slower belt speed while maintaining recommended ink cure temperature is always best to protect fabric, control dye migration, and reduce energy consumption.

10988 and 80989 INFINITE FX LIQUIDS can be cured between 270° F-320° F (132° C-160° C)

Liquid Metallics may tarnish (turn gray) when exposed to detergent or water that contains bleaching or whitening agent. For best care, hand wash or machine wash on cold cycle with garment inside-out using a phosphate free detergent, then air or line dry. Label garments with suggested wash instructions.
