Directions for Use

1. Mixing
• Combine Plastisol Discharge Additive and plastisol ink at a 1:1 ratio (50/50).
• Stir until smooth and consistent. Avoid high-speed mixing to prevent premature curing.

• Stir until fully dissolved. Only mix what you need for current production (pot life up to 24 hours).
3. Printing
• Print wet-on-wet with firm squeegee pressure to drive ink into the fabric.
• Mist the screen lightly with water during long runs to maintain flow.
4. Curing
• Cure at 320°F (160°C) for at least 90 seconds.
