Description

CCI T-Charge Blue 072 Water-Based Discharge Ink

CCI T-Charge Blue 072 is a deep, bold royal/ultramarine blue that drives rich royal and near-navy blues. Print it as a soft-hand water-based ink, or add CCI D-Powder to dye-discharge dark 100% cotton — the same color, two techniques. Mix any Pantone shade on CCI’s Color Matching System. Available from quart through 55-gallon.

Ready-for-use Blue 072

Pre-mixed and balanced — no base-and-pigment guesswork. Print straight from the container.

Discharge or water-based

Add 3–5% D-Powder to discharge darks, or print as-is on lights for a soft water-based hand.

Pantone-mixable

A CCI Color Matching System base — build precise Pantone shades with the R.F.U. formula guide.

Soft, zero-buildup

Cures soft with almost no hand, even on big solid coverage.

About Blue 072

CCI T-Charge Blue 072 is a deep, bold royal/ultramarine blue that drives rich royal and near-navy blues. It’s ideal for royal blue and deep blue brand colors, and works as both a standalone color and a mixing component in the CCI Color Matching System.

Preparation & printing

Prep screens with a water-resist emulsion (post-harden the stencil for long runs). To discharge, stir in 3–5% CCI D-Powder by weight (sold separately) and mix well — raise or lower the percentage to dial in the result. Print Blue 072 ready-to-use on light cotton, or activated on dischargeable 100% cotton. Heavy squeegee pressure is typical; flash between colors to limit build-up and mist the screen with water on long runs. Thin up to 10% with water and add up to 5% EnviroLine® Retarder for open time. Activated ink: use within 8 hours (pot life up to 24). Mix Pantone shades on the CCI Color Matching System.

Curing & cleanup

Cure a minimum of 90 seconds at 320°F — ideally 2–3 minutes at 340–350°F — with high-volume forced air. Don’t let the print dry before curing: the more moisture, the better the discharge. Proper cure drives both the discharge and the wash-fastness; if any activator odor remains, re-cure. Clean up with water; use CCI EnviroSolv® on press and CCI WB-1 for dried ink and tough haze.

Why printers reach for T-Charge

What “discharge” means

Discharge inks chemically remove the garment’s dye during cure and replace it with pigment — so the design lives in the shirt, not on top. Almost no hand, even on big solids over dark cotton.

Why R.F.U. matters

Ready-for-use means the color comes pre-mixed and balanced — no base-and-pigment guesswork. Add D-Powder for discharge, skip it for a soft water-based print.

Where it shines

Soft-hand retail tees, big solid prints on dark cotton, vintage/wash-worn looks, and any job where a heavy plastisol hand would feel cheap. Best on reactive-dyed 100% cotton.

Sizes

Size	Best for
Quart	Sampling, small runs & spot colors
Gallon	Regular production
5 Gallon	High-volume production
30 Gallon	Large-format / heavy production
55 Gallon	Highest-volume & best per-unit value

D-Powder sold separately. Stir in 3–5% by weight to activate discharge on dark cotton.

Use activated ink within 8 hours (pot life up to 24 hrs). Activate only what you’ll run.

Always pre-test. Not all dyes discharge; poly/blends won’t, and not every pigment discharges.

Wash before packaging or label to wash before wear — per CCI, some residue can remain after curing.
