What it prints on 100% cotton — full opacity and bright color 50/50 cotton/poly blends Polyester — test for dye migration; for high-bleed poly use a grey blocker underbase or a low-cure poly ink Printing & curing Mesh: 110–355 depending on the job — coarser (110–160) for high-opacity whites, underbase and specialty; finer (200–355) for detail and halftones Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer for sharp edges with easy fill Flash: 240–260°F between colors Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 300–310°F (150–154°C); confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp Runs smooth and consistent on manual or automatic presses, with strong flash and build for multi-color jobs Recommended companion products Nylon Bond 289 Additive — mix into this ink to bond prints to nylon and other slick synthetics (catalyst; stir in a small amount, limited pot life, always test first). Quick Flash Reducer — thins the ink for easier printing and finer detail without killing opacity. Soft Hand Base — add for a softer, lighter hand feel on the garment.

Print with adequate ventilation; curing releases vapors — vent your dryer. Always stir the ink before use — standard practice to re-blend any settling. Storage & shelf life: keep sealed and out of direct sunlight. Shelf life is 1–2 years for standard inks; low-cure and all-polyester inks must be stored at 60–80°F. In high heat expect some expansion in the container — open carefully. Do not freeze. Uncured ink is not hazardous waste but should be handled and disposed of per local regulations. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use. Compliance CPSIA compliant — meets 16 CFR Part 1303 (
