Mesh Guidelines: 155-305

Flash and Curing Guidelines:

• Curing should be a minimum of 90 seconds at 320°F. For the best results 2-3 minutes at 320°F.
• Flash at 105°C/220°F - 7 - 12 seconds

Recommended Clean-Up:

• On the press/in the sink - Ecotex® Water Based Screen Printing Press Wash

For Optimal Use:

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

Emulsion Recommendations: We recommend using a water-resistant emulsion such as Water Resistant Blue Emulsion or Dual Cure Pink Emulsion, both require mixing diazo. Remember to degrease your screen before coating the 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 are cured and printed correctly before going into production. Increase cure time if testing fails. We recommend only using natural fibers; the best results will be seen on 100% cotton. Synthetic fibers will not discharge properly.
