Additives
Maxopake inks are supplied ready to print. If necessary to reduce
viscosity, use up to 15% by weight, of Reducer/Detackifi er (PLRE-9000). For
printing transfers, mix Maxopake with with 5-10% Hot Split Additive
(PLUE-9040).
Printing Instructions
Multiple strokes may be required when printing by hand. When printing with
automatic presses use a slightly rounded squeegee to print a thicker ink layer.
A soft pad on the printing pallet will minimize penetration into the garment
and improve opacity.
Curing Instructions
These inks will fully cure when the entire thickness of the ink deposit
reaches 300°F (149°C).
Using Low-Bleed Inks
The Maxopake series includes two low-bleed colors: Low-Bleed Medium Yellow
(PADE-2060), and Low-Bleed Golden Yellow (PADE-2048). The lowbleed inks are
recommended for printing on cotton/polyester garments to control the problem of
dyes in the polyester fibers migrating or bleeding into the plastisol ink.
Low-bleed inks are not recommended for printing on light-colored 100% cotton
fabrics. On rare occasions ghost images can appear on contacting surfaces of
ink to garment. The use of low-bleed plastisols on these fabrics is not
recommended.
Caution
High opacity inks may crock. Red pigmented inks are especially subject
to this problem. To control or reduce crocking, add up to 10-15% by
weight of Extender Base (PADE / MIXE-9090). Always test this product for
curing, adhesion, crocking, opacity, washability, and other specific
requirements before using in production.
