SUMMARY:

When it comes to hard-to-print nylon, 900 series inks are recognized as the industry's best. They are fast-flashing, two-part ink systems specifically formulated for printing on nylon. As easy to use as conventional plastisols, they are also just as durable.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Nylon, cotton and some cotton/polyester blends. Always test print fabric for adhesion before beginning a production run. 900 Series inks are not low bleed inks. Testing is required for bleed resistance on cotton/polyester blends and 100% polyester.
INK APPLICATION
The 900LF series inks must be mixed with the 900LF Catalyst before printing. Catalyst is provided in 2 oz. and 8 oz. containers and should be thoroughly hand stirred into the ink to the following proportions:
By volume = 16 parts ink to 1 part catalyst By weight    = 20 parts ink to 1 part catalyst
1 oz. Catalyst to 1 pint of ink
 8 oz. Catalyst to 1 gallon of ink
Ink may be used immediately after mixing. Do not mix more ink than is needed for a job. Do not under catalyze the ink. Pot life of mixed ink is 4 to 8 hours. Over catalyzation will shorten pot life of ink.
SCREEN MESH AND EMULSION
     STANDARD COLORS 125-230 t/in Mono 49 –90 t/cm Mono
     METALLIC COLORS    86 -160 t/in Mono   
    PROCESS COLORS    200 -355 t/in Mono
    955LF Shimmer = 60 t/in or 24 t/cm
Monofilament Any direct or indirect lacquer proof emulsion.
Use 20 to 30 micron capillary film and retensionable frames at 20 to 40 Newtons for best results.
SQUEEGEE
70-80 Durometer: Sharp edge
CURE TEMPERATURE
300°F to 325°F (149°C to 163°C) entire ink film. Test dryer temperatures before a production run. Wash test printed product before beginning production run.
CLEAN-UP
Mineral spirits or environmentally friendly McLogan Textile Press Wash.
STORAGE OF INK
Recommend storage at 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Avoid storage in direct sunlight and moist, humid air.

MODIFYING INK
If necessary, mixed ink may be thinned with 1% to 5%, by volume, of mineral spirits or 1% to 5%, by volume, of 1110LF Curable Reducer. It is important not to use reducers that are 100% plasticizer, because they may decrease adhesion and make the finished ink film less durable.
