Product Overview


Autoline Plastisols are state of the art inks, designed to produce high quality prints on high speed automatic presses. Its excellent release properties yield strong color values even when using minimal squeegee pressures. The ink penetrates well and does not build up on the back of succeeding screens. Auto inks are normally printed wet on wet but can be printed over flash cured white or clear underbase on dark fabrics.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:

White or Light Colored Fabrics

Because Auto-Match inks will print well through a wide variety of mesh counts, the screen printer has a great deal of versatility available in regards to ink film thickness and fineness of detail printed. Lower mesh counts in the 86 to 125 thread per inch range (34 - 49 metric) will provide a relatively thick ink film but less fine detail. Mesh counts in the 150 to 230 range (59 - 90 metric) will print a soft hand design with a thinner ink film and more detail as the mesh count increases.

Dark 100% Cotton Fabrics

When printing on dark 100% cotton you should use a white underbase. Union Ink's Flash Cure White (PAFC-1020) is an excellent selection in this situation, as is Plasticharge White (if the fabric is dischargable), and Auto-Match Mixing White (AUTO-1000). Other inks that will work include Lightning White (PLHT-1055), Mix-Opake Super White (MIXO-1000), and Maxopake White (PADM-1020C). The mesh count for the underbase screen should be in the 86 - 125 range (4 - 49 metric).

Dark Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabrics

Because of the always present possibility of dye migration when printing on cotton/polyester blend fabrics only low-bleed white underbases should be used on these fabrics. Your best selection in this situation is Mix-Opake Low-Bleed White (MIXO-1055). Diamond Low Bleed White (PLHT-1075) can also be used. Mesh count recommendations for the underbase are the same as for dark 100% cotton garments.

DRYING TIME: Inks will fully cure when entire ink layer reaches 300°F. Autoline will not air-dry in the screen.

TRANSFERS: Auto-Match inks can also be used in the production of both hot-split and cold-peel transfers.

SCREEN FABRIC: Auto-Match inks will print well through mesh counts from 86T to 305T (34-120 metric). Mesh counts over 180T (71 metric) will increase the ink mileage and produce very soft hand prints.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water-soluble, hand-cut photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products.

MODIFIERS: Use UAUTO-9090 Extender Base or UPADS-9050 Soft Hand Base to extend colors and add strength.

REDUCER: Use UPLUS-9000 sparingly (2% or less).

ADHESION: Excellent on 100% cotton and most blends.

WASHUP: Use SYS-1925 or biodegradable washup SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
