TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Gel Temperature: Ink will surface gel at 220° F (105° C).
Curing: Prints will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches 290°F (160°C) for at least 15 seconds.
Heat Transfers: 1533PF and 1550PF can be used in printing cold peel transfers.
Mesh: For direct printing a 60-110/inch (24T-43Tcm) may be used.
Stencil: Any stencil compatible with plastisol inks may be used.
