    2. Coating direct on garment, mesh count 39T/CM(100T/IN), screen printing enough ink deposit is important.
    3. Place taffeta or fabric on the coated area, then directly go Molding process at 180C x 20 seconds. 
Precautions:
 
  • Keep the screen in the flooded position while print stops. Or, go for screen wash during a temporary stop.
  • Containers must maintain air-tight seal while not in use.
  • During production, heat application can be applied to speed up the process. Failure to cure ink at recommended time and temperature may result in poor wash fastness.
  • It is recommended to add enough printing inks (with Fixer B-10) to be able to print within Fixing Agent’s Pot Life to avoid spoiled.
  • Any application not referred in this product information should be pre-tested or consulted with Primus Technical Service prior to print.
