Product Overview


Unimatch is a state of the art, Pantone® licensed opaque mixing system. It was specifically formulated to create intense, bright colors with low build up. This unique low build up and superior wet on wet printing makes flash curing (underbase excluded) virtually unnecessary, and the perfect choice for both manual and automatic printing. Printers have reported excellent results printing 10 colors wet on wet over a flashed underbase. The intense, oipaque coilors allow printing through finer mesh for increased print sharpness.

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: For use on T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, denim, banners and pennants. For cotton/polyester blends where bleeding may occur, use UPLHT-1070 Fast Flash Low Bleed White.

FINISH: Satin finish with a soft hand.

OPACITY: Excellent on all shirt colors.

COVERAGE: Approximately 550 to 650 square feet per gallon

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:

White or Light Colored Fabrics

Even though Unimatch inks print well through a wide variety of mesh counts, they have been specifically formulated to provide you with the most accurate PANTONE® color reproductions, printability and soft hand when printed through a 230 (92 metric) polyester monofilament mesh. Printing thicker ink deposits through mesh counts coarser than 160 (64 metric) could result in a less than perfect match.

Dark 100% Cotton Fabrics

When printing on dark 100% cotton an underbase should be utilized. Union's Maxopake White PADE-1030, Mixopake Super White MIXE-1000, or Plasticharge White (if the fabric is dischargeable) through mesh counts between 125 and 230 (48-92 metric). Caution: Dyes used in some newer fashion colors may occasionally fade or "ghost" when in contact with low-bleed inks. Dyes causing this problem include pale blue, light green, shades of gray, tan, and lavender, among others. Fading occurs on both cotton/polyester and 100% cotton fabric. This does not seem to occur on standard garment colors such as red, maroon, green, purple, black, etc. To avoid this problem use only underbases recommended for 100% cotton or place a slipsheet between each shirt as they are stacked.

Dark Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabrics

Because of the always present possibility of dye sublimation/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 Union's PLHT-1070 Diamond White. Mesh count recommendations for Diamond White is 125-200 (48-80 metric). Underbases printed through finer meshes may hamper the bleed resistant properties of Diamond White.

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

TRANSFERS: Even though Unimatch is formulated for direct printing, it will provide good results as a cold peel transfer ink.

SCREEN FABRIC: Unimatch inks are formulated to print through finer mesh counts increasing mileage and reducing ink costs. Inks mixed to Unimatch formulas are designed to reproduce Pantone® colors accurately when printed through 230 mesh For cotton/polyester blends where bleeding may occur, use UPLHT-1070 Fast Flash Low Bleed White printed through 125-200 mesh polyester.

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

MODIFIERS:Use PTHF-9070 to reduce opacity or soften the hand of the ink. Can be mixed 10-50% by weight depending on the color of the fabric and the desired opacity or softness of the finished print.

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

ADHESION: Excellent for most fabrics.

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