Printing: For best results flood the image and print using a sharp 70 durometer squeegee. A 65-90-65 durometer squeegee may be used when a very heavy deposit is required. 80-305 TPI (32-120 TPcm) mesh taut screens (25 newtons or higher) are strongly recommended. For smoothest deposit use 160 TPI (62 TPcm) mesh or higher when necessary. Coarse meshes (60-83 TPI, 23-32 TPcm) are recommended for a thicker ink deposit. Heavy fleece may require a thicker deposit. Stencil: Use any direct emulsion or capillary film. Additives: XOLB-142 Max Production White is ready to print. Reduce only if necessary using P-5011 curable reducer or WOW-105 Softee Base. Reducing the viscosity will also reduce the opacity and coverage of the ink. Please test before production run. For printing on nylon mix with MF-66 Nylon Bonding Agent. Flashing: Parameters vary between all flash units. Flash for 1-2 seconds with the ink deposit reaching 150-250?F (65-121?C). After the platens are warm, you should experience an aproximate 1 second flash time depending on flash unit. Ink should be dry and without tack. WARNING: Over flashing can cure the ink and prevent adhesion between coats of ink. Cleanup: Use any of the commercially available products for the cleanup of plastisol inks. Environmentally Friendly: QCM Plastisol Ink contains no leaded pigments and, when properly disposed of, has no environmental impact. Use a screen wash for plastisols for cleanup. Scrape screens carefully and store ink for reuse. Minimize unusable scrap ink by segregating ink by color. QCM PPR-901 Black pigment can be used to convert old ink into black ink for waste elimination.
QCM Textile Inks does not knowingly add plasticizers containing the phthalates listed and outlined in California Bill 1108, CPSIA HR-4040 and Oeko-tex Standard 100. The plasticizers identified may include di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP), (DIBP) Di-iso-butyl, and (DMP) Dimethylphthalate, including esters of ortho-phthalic acid and are not direct ingredients in the manufacture of Non-Phthalate Inks. QCM does not test the final product for amounts of the aforementioned phthalate plasticizers and esters and encourages all users to conduct testing for their intended use.
