Directions for Mixing Catalyst 3000/RV Additive into Matsui Ink:

  1. Prepare Clean Mixing Vessel: Start by ensuring that the mixing vessel you will be using is clean and free from any residue or contaminants. Properly clean and dry the vessel to avoid any potential issues with the ink.
  2. Measure the Amount of Matsui Ink: Measure the desired amount of Matsui ink that you want to mix with the Catalyst 3000/RV Additive. It is essential to measure the ink accurately to achieve the correct ratio.
  3. Calculate the Additive Quantity: Depending on your desired viscosity and ink penetration, add Catalyst 3000/RV Additive at a recommended rate of 1% to 3% of the total ink volume. For example, if you have 100 grams of ink, you would add 1 to 3 grams of the additive.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Carefully add the calculated amount of Catalyst 3000/RV Additive to the measured Matsui ink. Use a clean mixing blade or utensil to thoroughly blend the additive into the ink.
  5. Stir Gradually: Stir the mixture slowly but consistently to ensure proper dispersion of the additive throughout the ink. Continue stirring until the additive is completely integrated into the ink, and there are no visible clumps or streaks.
  6. Test and Adjust: Perform a test print using the mixed ink to evaluate the desired viscosity and ink penetration. If necessary, make adjustments to the additive quantity to achieve the ideal consistency and performance.
  7. Store Properly: After mixing, store the ink in a suitable container with a secure lid to prevent contamination or drying. Follow the ink manufacturer’s guidelines for storage conditions.

Note: It is essential to follow the recommended usage rate of 1% to 3% for Catalyst 3000/RV Additive to avoid over-thinning the ink or affecting its properties negatively. Always conduct tests to determine the optimal additive percentage for your specific printing requirements.

By following these directions, you can easily mix Catalyst 3000/RV Additive into your Matsui ink, achieving the desired viscosity and improved ink penetration for exceptional screen printing results. Experiment with different additive percentages to find the perfect balance for your specific printing projects.
