581 Arctic White Plastisol Ink is creamy smooth and is extremely easy to print. 581 Series Arctic White is very well known for being a extremely bright, optical white plastisol ink. 581 Arctic White is an ideal choice for manual or machine screen printing. Ideal for 100% cotton and some 50/50's.
USES: 581 Arctic White plastisol ink is very opaque and works very well on 100% cotton fabics and 50/50 cotton polyester blended fabrics. Arctic White is a fast flashing and easy curing plastisol which means more efficient production runs.
FINISH: Very soft hand.
OPACITY: Excellent
DRYING TIME: Excalibur Ink will fully heat cure when the entire ink film reaches 310°F . Light colors may require longer periods to obtain this temperature.
SCREEN FABRIC: 40-305/inch mesh depending on opacity and deposit required. For heat transfers, a 80-125/inch screen mesh gives the best result.
SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: All types of stencils may be used for screen printing 581 Series Plastisol Inks
MODIFIERS:For softer hand, limited amounts of 502 Reducer may be used to achieve the desired consistency. Limited amounts of 502 Reducer will duplicate the look and feel of a water based-print. The only minor drawback is that as you increase the amount used, the plastisol loses some stretch and abrasion resistance. Excess amounts may increase curing time. 501 Curable Reducer can be added in any quantity and will soften hand, reduce viscosity and extend ink. Excess amounts may reduce opacity.
SQUEEGEE: Medium Durometer is recommended.
WASHUP: Use SYS-1925 or biodegradable washup SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
ALWAYS TEST PRINT BEFORE PRODUCTION!
