Directions for Use

Mixing

  • Stir ink thoroughly before use
  • Mix 90% HD Silicone + 10% Catalyst
  • Optional: Add up to 10% matte Yama Silicone Pigments
  • Mix until fully smooth and uniform
  • Allow 5–10 minutes for air bubbles to release
  • Only mix what you will print within 4–6 hours

Screen Setup

  • Use thick stencil / high-density emulsion build
  • Recommended mesh: 30–80 mesh (12–32T)
    • Lower mesh = more height
  • Use silicone-compatible emulsion and degrease thoroughly

Printing

  • Print heavy deposit / multiple strokes
  • Print-flash-print to build height
  • Flash between layers, do not over-flash
  • Keep screens flooded during pauses
  • Use roller squeegee between prints for ultra-crisp edges (optional pro trick)
  • Pro Tip: For badge-style prints, use a capillary film or build stencil layers.


Curing

  • Cure at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 1–2 minutes
  • Ensure ink film reaches >250°F (121°C) internally
  • Allow full dwell time for maximum build, strength, and stretch
  • ✅ Fully cured = maximum durability & HD height
    ❌ Under-curing = weak stretch & adhesion

Best Practices

  • ✅ Test print & adjust flash timing
    ✅ Lower mesh = bigger 3D effect
    ✅ Store ink sealed when not printing
    ✅ Ideal for raised logos, performance gear, streetwear
  • ❌ Do NOT thin with non-approved chemicals
    ❌ Do NOT mix with plastisol or water-base inks
    ❌ Over-flashing will flatten HD build
