Printing Tips

Stir inks before printing

Allows for fast print strokes and easy clearance on fine mesh. Use hard flood and low-medium squeegee pressure.

Adjust flash cure temperature and dwell time so ink is just dry to touch. Depending on flash unit, a 2-3 second fash is adequate

UPLC1073 is designed to proved maximum opacity on dark fabrics, 100% cotton or cotton/poly blends. It has excellent "low-bleed" qualities.

Curing is a time and temperature process. Using a lower temperature, at a lower belt speed will provide the best results without damaging the fabric.
