• The dryer has to be maintained so that the temperature at the print is 320-350F for 1 minute and 20 seconds to ensure complete fusion, which will give the print longer washability and fusion. The ink sometimes does not fuse properly due to low voltage- Test the temperature with a laser gun. THE BEST COURSE IS TO CHECK ONE SHIRT OR PELLON FOR FUSION OF THE INK.

Application recommendations for CardinalRed Plastisol Ink:

• Use mesh 86-110 for dark shirts- you need to apply a heavier deposit of plastisol ink for coverage on dark shirts.
• Use 110-305 mesh count for lighter colors. Some heavy shirts, such as sweatshirts, may require an underbase.
• Whenever you are avoiding an under-base, make sure that you put a little heavier 2 coats- try it first, chances are you may not need an under-base.
• Squeegee 60-70 uses a direct emulsion to make screens; we recommend a high-solid one-part like "QXL" (45% solids).
• For a heavier deposit of plastisol ink, you need a higher solids emulsion and the application of 2/2 emulsion coatings, two on the print side and two on the squeegee side.
• Cotton and 50/50 cotton/polyester fabrics, print/ flash print for dark shirts and one stroke for lighter and white materials fully cured @ 350F

*Store at room temperature and avoid storing in direct sunlight/humid air.
