Union Glitter plastisols that provide brilliant color with excellent opacity. For direct or transfer printing, transfers take on the finish of the transfer paper. REGULAR "J" GLITTERS: This formula is recommended for direct printing and yield brilliant results. They are suitable for transfer printing, but yield less brilliant results than super glitters SUPER "S" GLITTERS: These inks contain more expensive polyester glitters and produce brilliant transfers. Also suitable for direct printing, but more expensive than regular glitters.
USES: High deposit lead-free plastisol GLITTER inks with excellent opacity. These inks will heat cure to a glittering textured metallic finish when printed directly on textiles and take on the finish of release papers when used for heat transfer printing.
OPACITY: Excellent: may be printed on black or dark colored grounds.
DRYING TIME: Plastisol inks WILL NOT AIR DRY. They must be heat cured. These inks will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches 300°F (149°C). Curing can be accomplished with the use of a conveyer dryer, flash curing unit, or simple infrared heater.
SCREEN FABRIC: For direct printing use 20-25T (8-10T metric) monofilament. For transfer printing 25-33T (10-12T metric) monofilament is recommended.
SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Direct and indirect photostencils, or water soluble, knife-cut stencils are suitable.
MODIFIERS: These inks are supplied Ready-for-Use. PLUE-9000 Reducer/Detackifier may be added if a thinner consistency is required. Always stir well to break down false body and determine actual working viscosity prior to adding reducer.
WASHUP: T-125 or biodegradable washup SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2520 screen wash gel.
ALWAYS TEST PRINT BEFORE PRODUCTION!
