Technical Specifications

CCI D-White Discharge Ink – Technical Specifications

Mesh Count:

🔹 Recommended for 160 to 305 mesh counts, allowing for fine image detail and a soft-hand finish.

Activation:

🔹 Mix 3-6% by weight of D-Powder Discharge Activator into the ink and stir thoroughly.
🔹 Adjust the activator percentage based on the desired discharge effect.

Pot Life:

🔹 Once activated, use within 8 hours for best performance.

Thinning:

🔹 If a lower viscosity is needed, thin with water up to 10% maximum.

Application Guidelines

Screen Preparation:

✔ Use a water-resistant emulsion to prevent stencil breakdown.
✔ For long print runs, post-hardening the stencil is recommended.

Printing:

✔ Apply heavy squeegee pressure, adjusting based on mesh count.
✔ Print wet-on-wet without flash curing.
✔ For extended print runs, mist the screens occasionally with water to prevent drying.

Curing:

✔ Minimum cure time: 90 seconds at 320°F (160°C).
✔ Optimal cure: 2-3 minutes at 340-350°F (171-177°C) with high-volume forced air.
✔ Ensure prints do not dry before curing—moisture is essential for proper discharge activation.

Clean-Up:

✔ For wet ink, clean with water.
✔ For on-press cleaning and screen opening, use a press wash.

Important Notes:

⚠ Always pre-test for complete curing, durability, and fabric compatibility.
⚠ Not all fabrics are dyed with dischargeable dyes.
⚠ Some pigments may not discharge properly.

By using CCI D-White Discharge Ink, you’ll achieve exceptionally bright prints with a soft-hand feel, ensuring high-quality, comfortable finished products.
