Navy

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: For use on white or light pastel cottons, blends, dress wear, linens, toweling, slipcovers, T-shirts, bedspreads and hats.

FINISH: Equal to fabric printed.

OPACITY: All colors are deep strength transparents for dye effects. Can be screen printed one color on another "wet-on-wet" for multicolor printing.

DRYING TIME: All moisture and water must be evaporated from cloth before drying/curing begins. Air-dries to touch in about 30 to 40 minutes, but can take up to 30 days to reach full cure. Jet dries in about 90 seconds at 350° F. (All colors must be heat set.) If insufficient oven conditions canÕt be met, add 2% AQUAFIX to ensure wash fastness.

SCREEN FABRIC: Use monofilament polyester depending on material being printed. 60 - 80 mesh recommended for terry cloth towels, 109-200 mesh for normal printing.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water resistant emulsion, preferable with hardener.

MODIFIERS: Reducing is not recommended, as color density will be lost. AQT 1010 Clear Base is a homogenous medium for extending or mixing colors. AQT 2593 Anti Crock Agent may be added in amounts from 2-5% to increase crock (rub off) resistance and to improve resistance to dry cleaning. If necessary, a little water may be added. Aqualife retarder may be used in amounts of 5 Ð 10%

SQUEEGEE: Soft to medium in the 60 to 70 durometer range.

WASHUP: Use water to clean screens and tools, or biodegradable washups 2500, 2550 or 2510 screen wash gel for badly dried in screens.
