SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: MAXOPAKE plastisols continue to be an industry standard on dark shirts. They are smooth and creamy and easy to print. Multiple strokes may be required when printing by hand and use of a rounded squeegee or other techniques to yield a high deposit is recommended when printing on automatics. A soft pad on the printing pallet will minimize penetration into the garment and give maximum surface deposits and thus opacity. The best opacity is obtained when printing these inks on 100% cotton garments. Although LOW-BLEED versions are available for garments containing polyester whose dyes tend to "bleed" into the ink, regular MAXOPAKE inks can be printed, quickly flash-cured and printed again to achieve extremely bright prints on garments that contain polyester. (This technique may not completely eliminate the need for a low-bleed color on certain fabrics.

FINISH: Cures to a soft hand finish.

OPACITY: Excellent opacity on dark garments.

DRYING TIME PADE Series plastisol inks will not air dry. They must be heat cured. Normal plastisol inks will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches 300°F. Curing can be accomplished with the use of a conveyor dryer, flash curing unit, or simple infrared heater. Due to the nature of MAXOPAKE inks they require a higher than normal cure temperature of at least 320°F to cure.

SCREEN FABRIC: 86T-230T monofilament polyester is recommended.

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

MODIFIERS: Use UPLUE-9090 Extender Base to extend colors, add strength, or for transfers. Use UPLRE-9000 as a reducer or detackifier.

ADHESION: Excellent on 100% Cotton and blends.

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