Ecotex Water Based Inks are ready to use straight from the container! Ecotex Water Based Inks can also be used as a discharge ink by simply mixing in Discharge Activator – included in this kit. The inks are bright and vivid. By using Ecotex water-based Inks, you'll be able to print on high mesh counts that will produce high image detail. Water Based Inks produce an extremely soft hand feel on your garment. Mesh Guidelines: 160-305 Curing: Should be a minimum of 90 seconds at 320°F. For the best results 2-3 minutes at 320°F. Flashing: Flash at 105°C/220°F - 7 - 12 seconds Recommended Clean Up: On the press/in the sink - Water Based Screen Cleaner For Optimal Use: Activate just enough ink for the job at hand. Mist the screen with water during high volume runs to prevent the ink from drying out Mixing Information: Water based printing: Our ink can be used straight out of the bottle as a traditional water-based ink. We recommend only doing this technique on light color garments. Discharge Printing: This ink can also be used a discharge ink by adding the discharge powder. When using as a discharge ink, add enough discharge powder to the amount of ink you need for the print run. This will be somewhere in between 3-5% by weight. Mix thoroughly to make sure no chunks or grains are visible. Once the powder is added to the ink it will last for one hour. Emulsion Recommendations: We recommend using a water-resistant emulsion such as WR-Blue or DC-Pink, both require mixing diazo. Remember to degrease your screen before coating emulsion, Hyper Haze will degrease and remove stains/ghosts. General Testing: Before you do any large print, we recommend doing a stretch and a wash test to ensure you cured and printed correctly before going into production. Increase cure time if testing fails. We recommend only using natural fibers; best results will be seen on 100% cotton. Synthetic fibers will not discharge properly. Color Matc
