Usage

Print Subcolor W screenprinting ink on at least 105 gr/m 2 matt transfer paper. In case of a multi colour pattern after the printing of the separate colours the paper should get dry comletely. The drying is possible on a dripping-board and in a heating tunnel as well. The recommended temperature for the heating tunnel is 40-50°C. The drying on higher temperature can lead to the constriction of the paper, and so there will be setting problems by the printing of the following colours.

Recommended mesh

120-34 or finer

In case of too fast drying, it can be made slower by mixing 1-5% Printex LA to Subcolor W. The overdose of the retarder may lead to the damage or slurring of the pattern.

Emulsion

According to our pratical experiences we recommend the Fotecoat 1010 combined (water- and solvent-resistent) emulsion.

Screen wash

With water, in case there remanis some discolouration or adherence on the squeegee-side you can remove them with Universal Screenwash.

Transfer

at min 180°C 3-5 minutes
optimally at 200-210°C 20-40 seconds

You can iron a transferpaper more times, but the colour of the pattern ironed from the same transfer paper will not be the same (they will become lighter and lighter).

Note

Please, make a test print before every series of prints. Make sure that the appropriate actuality values can be achieved with the actual base material and with Your technological conditions.
