Printing Tips
Although this contemporary chemistry includes many modern behaviors, it is forgiving when it comes to press operators who use too much pressure.
Print as you would a soft Poly ink and adapt for your application from there.
Be sure to "Pre-shear" ink body thoroughly before printing. It will help to transfer just the amount you need to a smaller vessel for preshearing.
On automatic presses, this ink should clear the screen image on the second stroke. If you are clearing the mesh completely on the first stroke, it may be advisable to back off squeegee pressure.
Flash until ink film surface achieves a "pudding skin" like finish. Ink should be slightly tacky after flash, but should not transfer to your finger.
For best bleed resistance it is advisable to print two strokes, flash, and then a final stroke.
