Colorpro Yellow (Red Shade)

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: For use on cottons, cotton/polyester blends, can be used on cold peel transfers, and on Spandex and Lycra.

FINISH: Cures to a soft-hand finish.

PRINTING METHOD:: It is recommended to have a thick ink deposit to prevent dye migration. Although Sport Pro is designed to be bleed resistant, some fabrics and dyes can be troublesome. It is highly recommended to give 2 or more print strokes to build up the ink deposit (print/flash/print) Extra curing time will be required to cure the thick ink deposit. Do not try fully curing by giving extra heat as excessive temperature can cause the dye to bleed or sublimate into the print.

OPACITY: Excellent opacity. (1551 ColorPro colors are slightly less opaque.

DRYING TIME: Plastisol inks will not air dry. They must be heat cured. SportPro inks will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches from 290°F to 310°F. Curing can be accomplished with the use of a conveyor dryer, flash curing unit, or simple infrared heater. Will semi-cure or gel at 250°F for transfers.

SCREEN FABRIC: Use 60-110 monofilament polyester depending on the substrate for direct prints, 60-80 mesh for transfers.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water soluble hand-cut, photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products. A thick stencil or up to 200 microns is recommended.

MODIFIERS: A small amount of 1501 curable reducer (1 to 3%) can be used to reduce opacity and soften hand.

TRANSFERS: Transfert 75 paper is recommended. For increased durability, use adhesive powder or print H1 (medium grind) or C57 (multi grind for soft hand) adhesive over the entire transfer while wet, before curing through oven. Set transfer press for 10-12 seconds at 325°F to 350°F. Peel cold.

WASHUP: T-125 mineral spirits, or biodegradable washes SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
