Printing Process:
- Prepare Your Screen: Coat your screen printing frame with the emulsion of your choice, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the emulsion to dry completely before proceeding.
- Prepare Your Ink: Matsui 301 Water-Based Infinity Series Ink is ready for use, but you can adjust its consistency if needed. Add thinner (RV Additive) to decrease viscosity or thickener (Thickener B) to increase viscosity as required for your specific project.
- Mount Your Screen: Secure the prepared screen in your screen printing press, ensuring proper tension.
- Prepare Your Substrate: Place the substrate (e.g., cotton or cotton-poly blend fabric) on the printing surface, making sure it’s flat and well-prepped.
- Adjust Squeegee Settings: Set the squeegee hardness to medium, ensure the blade is sharp, and set the squeegee angle to approximately 45 degrees to the screen. Adjust the squeegee speed to medium.
- Test Printing: Before the actual print run, perform a test print to ensure the ink consistency, screen alignment, and squeegee pressure are appropriate for your design.
- Printing: Apply the Matsui 301 Water-Based Infinity Series Ink to the screen, positioning it over the substrate. Pull the squeegee evenly across the screen at a consistent speed, transferring the ink to the substrate. Be sure to apply even pressure to achieve consistent results.
- Drying: After printing, allow the printed substrate to air dry or use a conveyor dryer set to the recommended flash temperature of 160°F (71°C) to flash-cure the ink. This helps reduce tackiness.
- Curing: To fully cure the ink and ensure durability, heat cure the printed substrate at a temperature of 320°F (160°C). Ensure that the entire design is subjected to the curing process for optimal results.
- Clean-Up: Clean your equipment and tools using water and mild soap or detergent. Properly dispose of any waste materials according to local regulations.
- Storage: Store the Matsui 301 Water-Based Infinity Series Ink between 65°F to 95°F (18°C to 35°C) in a location that avoids direct sunlight.
- Finish and Inspect: Once your prints are cured and dried, inspect the final result. Matsui 301 Water-Based Infinity Series Ink is known for its excellent printability and opacity, making it ideal for a wide range of substrates.
Special Recommendations and Optional Additives:
- Infinity Colors should be mixed in clean vessels using clean mixing blades and utensils to avoid contamination.
- To enhance open time in the screen, you can use Retarder MG at 1-3%.
- Improve wash fastness by adding Fixer WF-N at 1-3%, especially for garments that will undergo frequent washing.
- For better penetration into the garment while maintaining a soft hand feel, consider incorporating Softener MG at 1-5%.
- When working with low-curing fabrics or electric dryers, use Fixer L at 1-3% for optimal curing results.
By following these directions and considering the technical data provided, along with the optional additives, you can achieve excellent results when using Matsui 301 Water-Based Infinity Series Ink in your screen printing projects.
