Description

Inktek SE 901.5 QuickSilver SE Plastisol Ink Key Features:

  • Chrome-like metallic finish — brighter and smoother than standard silver
  • High opacity for bold coverage on dark fabrics
  • Ultra-fine metallic flake for a clean, smooth print surface
  • Soft hand feel compared to conventional metallic inks
  • Excellent printability on manual & automatic presses
  • Strong durability and wash performance
  • Ideal for premium retail, fashion, streetwear, & athletic apparel

Recommended Use

For maximum reflectivity and brightness, print through low mesh counts and maintain proper ink deposit. Stir well before and during printing to ensure metallic flakes remain suspended.

Mesh Recommendation

  • 86–125 mesh (34–48T) for optimal coverage and shine

Cure Temperature

Fully cure at 320°F (160°C) ensuring ink film reaches full internal cure temperature.

Pro Tips

  • Use a smooth underbase for brightest results
  • Stir frequently to maintain flake suspension
  • Test on production garments before full runs

Note: Metallic inks reflect heat and may require longer cure times. We recommend increasing dryer temperature and slowing belt speed when curing. Always test to confirm the print is fully cured throughout the ink film.

Printing Guidelines

  • Print through lower mesh counts for maximum shine
  • Use a smooth underbase (white or gray recommended) to increase reflectivity
  • Stir frequently to maintain metallic flake suspension
  • Print 1–2 strokes depending on deposit and coverage

Curing Guidelines

  • Cure at 320°F (160°C) until ink film reaches full temperature
  • Because metallic flakes reflect heat, longer or slower cure cycle may be needed
  • Verify cure with stretch test and wash test

Pro Tip: Raise tunnel dryer temp slightly & slow belt speed for metallic systems.

Storage & Handling

  • Store closed at 65–90°F (18–32°C)
  • Keep away from extreme heat/cold
  • Mix thoroughly before use
  • Shelf life: 1 year unopened under proper storage conditions

Best Practices

✅ Test cure on every new garment type
✅ Use smooth underbase to maximize chrome effect
✅ Stir during production
✅ Use low mesh for more shine

❌ Do not add excessive reducer — can dull metallic finish
❌ Avoid overheating mesh during flashing — can thicken ink
