TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Gel Temperature: Ink will gel on surface at 240° F (126° C).
Curing: Excalibur 700PF Glitter Series Colours will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches 320° F (160° C.) and held at this temperature for at least 30 seconds. Because of the reflective nature of the metallic particles it may require raising the temperature, a long dwell time inside the dryer or a combination of both to achieve full cure.
Heat Transfers: Excalibur 700PF Glitter Series Colours may be used in the production of cold peel transfers when used in conjunction with with Glitter-Strip Transfer Paper or any other paper suitable for printing metallic or glitter inks.
Mesh: For direct or transfer printing a 24-40/inch (8T-16Tcm) provides excellent results.
Stencil: Any stencil compatible with plastisol inks may be used.
Modification: Because plastisol inks are thixotropic and can body up during storage always stir ink thoroughly prior to printing or adding reducers. If necessary Excalibur 501PF Curable Reducer may be added to increase printability of ink and help clean ink from the screen. CAUTION: Adding too much Excalibur 501PF Curable Reducer will reduce opacity and reduce clarity thus altering the sparkling look of the metallic print.
Squeegee: 70 durometer or 90/70/90 triple durometer blades are recommended.
