Product Overview:
XOLB-158 Creamy Glacier White exhibits a brilliant whiteness, so white it almost glows. Creamy Glacier White has a soft, creamy
consistency that is very easy to print, but also has a very high opacity. It is excellent for printing on most substrates, such as 50/50
cotton polyester blend, 100% cotton and fleece fabrics. As with all our Glacier Whites, it is soft, creamy, easy to print, has excellent
opacity, good flash times and that incredible "whiteness." It exhibits good low-bleed qualities.
Printing:
Screen meshes in the range of 83-160 TPI (32-62 TPcm) are recommended for best opacity. Creamy Glacier White will print
through up to a 305 TPI (120 TPcm) with excellent opacity. Screens stretched to a minimum of 25 newtons are recommended. If
using lower tension screens, adjust off contact accordingly. Use just enough squeegee pressure to deposit the ink on the surface
of the shirt. This enhances opacity and helps ensure a good cure. Try not to drive the ink into the fabric. Squeegees in the 70
durometer range, with a sharp edge, work well.
Stencil:
Use any direct emulsion or capillary film.
Substrates:
Creamy Glacier White is designed to provide maximum opacity on dark fabrics, 100% cotton or cotton/poly blends. It has good
"low-bleed" qualities.
Modifiers:
Creamy Glacier White is a ready-to-print ink. Modification is not necessary unless you're trying to achieve a special effect or use.
Any extenders will affect opacity. Creamy Glacier White has excellent shelf life and, with cool storage, will maintain its creamy
consistency.
Flashing:
Depending on your flash unit, Creamy Glacier White will flash in 3 seconds when at 10 watts per sq. in/heating area (per
sq. 2.54cm/heating area) or in 4-5 seconds when at 6-7 watts per sq. in. /heating area (per sq. 2.54cm/heating area).
Curing:
Cure at 325°F (162°C) over a 60-90 second period, depending on oven type and thickness of ink deposit. A thicker deposit will take
longer to cure as the heat must penetrate through the entire ink layer.
Clean Up:
Use any of the commercially available products for the cleanup of plastisol inks.
Environmentally Friendly:
QCM Plastisol Ink contains no leaded pigments and, when properly disposed of, has no environmental impact. Use a screen wash
for plastisols for cleanup. Scrape screens carefully and store ink for reuse. Minimize unusable scrap ink by segregating ink by color.
