Product Overview:
EHP-1000 is a base puff ink designed to be pigmented at up to 30% or added at up to 50% to a finished ink. The EHP-1000 has been formulated to product a high “Puff” effect on a variety of fabrics. This ink prints smooth and has an even rise for a clean, sharp print. It has low bleed qualities and is very durable when cured properly.
Printing:
Puff inks are generally printed through coarse meshes, 60-80 TPI (23-31 TPcm) and as high as 110-160 TPI (43-62 TPcm). Screens stretched to a minimum of 25 newtons are recommended. This allows you to lay the ink on the surface of the shirt using minimal squeegee pressure and minimal off contact.
Stencil:
Use any water resistant direct emulsion or capillary film.
Substrates:
EHP-1000 may be printed on 100% cotton, cotton/poly blends, acrylics and polyesters. Pre-production run testing is always recommended to ensure adhesion, washability and dye migration, amongst other things.
Curing:
Recommended cure temperature is 320-340°F (160-171°C) for 60-90 seconds, depending on curing unit and thickness of ink deposit. Lower temperatures may not produce adequate puffing and higher temperatures or excessive duration in the dryer may cause ink to over-puff and collapse.
Cleanup:
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. QCM PPR-901 Black pigment can be used to convert old ink into black ink for waste elimination.
