Ecotex® Water Based Fluorescent Ink Kit

Flash and Curing Guidelines: Flash forced air flash is optimal. Curing should be a minimum of 90 seconds at 320F. For the best results 2-3 minutes at 320F.

Mesh Guidelines: 160-305

Recommended Clean Up:

Water Based Screen Cleaner

For Optimal Use:

Activate just enough ink for the job at hand

Mist the screen with water during high volume runs to prevent the ink from drying out

Mixing Information:

Water based printing: Our ink can be used straight out of the bottle as a traditional water-based ink. We recommend only doing this technique on light color garments.

Discharge Printing: This ink can also be used a discharge ink by adding the discharge powder. When using as a discharge ink, add enough discharge powder to the amount of ink you need for the print run. This will be somewhere in between 3-5% by weight. Mix thoroughly to make sure no chunks or grains are visible. Once the powder is added to the ink it will last for one hour.

Emulsion Recommendations: We recommend using a water resistant emulsion such as WR-Blue or DC-Pink, both require mixing diazo. Remember to degrease your screen before coating emulsion, Hyper Haze will degrease and remove stains/ghosts.

General Testing: Before you do any large print, we recommend doing a stretch and a wash test to ensure you cured and printed correctly before going into production. Increase cure time if testing fails. We recommend only using natural fibers; best results will be seen on 100% cotton. Synthetic fibers will not discharge properly.
