With Bling Silver and Bling Gold varients, you can add pigment to achieve your desired shade of metallic. 1. MIXING PIGMENT COLOUR:For the mixing ratio of pigment colour to printing binder, you should not exceed up to 6% of Eco-Pigments. This means you can mix up to 60 grams of color per 1 kg of printing binder. Exceeding this ratio will impair the fixing and may leave surplus color on the surface, leading to discoloration in the water during the first wash.2. PRINTING:The recommended polyester monofilament screen mesh range is between 32-62T (86-156). Stencils should be made with water-resistant emulsion, and screens must be cleaned thoroughly after printing to avoid permanent blockage. The specifics for the stencil include a water-resistant emulsion type, with standard EOM thickness and a contact distance of 3-4mm off.3. DRYING & CURING:For drying and curing, the printed pattern requires heat application for fixing. The curing temperature and time are specified as 2-2.5 minutes at 165°C (330°F). This process completes the chemical reaction for cross-linking. There are also alternative options with the MAGNAPRINT additives, such as adding Cross Linker 100 to the print paste, which can act as a curing agent if adequate heating or baking facilities are not available. Make sure to always test a sample for fastness before proceeding with the whole batch, especially since some fabrics may have special treatments that make them unsuitable for this process.
