Curing Guidelines for Shaliteink Rose Red Plastisol Ink:

• Cure at 160°C (320°F): Make sure the entire ink layer reaches and maintains this temperature to fully cure.
• Flash at 120°C-140°C (248°F-284°F): Short flash time contributes to faster production without compromising quality.
• General Testing Recommendation: Always do a stretch test and a wash test on the sample garment before starting full production. This ensures correct curing and printing parameters. For best results, we recommend using natural fibers, with 100% cotton giving exceptional results.

• Testing for Optimal Cure:

• Washing Test: Allow 5-10 washings to fully test the treatment. Poorly cured prints will deteriorate after 1-3 washes.
• Stretch test: Stretch the printed garment approximately two-thirds of its length. If the print breaks and does not retract, it indicates under-curing. Increase curing time or temperature as necessary.

Understanding Low Cure and Dye Migration:

One of the important benefits of Shaliteink Rose Red Plastisol ink is its ability to cure at 160°C. This low temperature is important to prevent dye transfer, especially when working with polyester and poly-blend fabrics. Most polyester dyes set at high temperatures (typically 270°-300°F / 132°-149°C). When the fabric reaches this temperature again during the curing process, the dyes may return to a gaseous state and bleed into your plastisol ink, causing your print to fade. By curing below this critical temperature, Shaliteink Rose Red ink helps you avoid this common problem, ensuring that your prints remain crisp and true to color.

Important note on temperature readings: When testing cure temperature, a laser temperature gun will only give you superficial readings, which can be misleading. For accurate measurement of the internal temperature of the ink layer, a donut probe is highly recommended. The entire ink layer must reach 160°C for full cure. Factors such as ink deposit thickness, tunnel length, and ambient temperature can affect cure time. Always adjust your dryer settings and test a thorough wash to confirm proper curing.

Cleanup and Storage:

• On-Press Cleanup: Use Ecotex® Plastisol Press Wash/Ink Degradant or similar product to clean screens and squeegees quickly and efficiently.
• Sink Cleaning: For thorough screen cleaning, use Ecotex® Plastisol Screen Wash/Ink Degradant.
• Storage: Store your Shaliteink Plastisol inks at room temperature, ideally between 18-32°C (65-90°F), and out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 32°C (90°F) can cause the ink to solidify in the container, reducing its shelf life.

Pro Tips for Optimal Results:

• Plastisol ink forms a mechanical bond with the fabric fibers rather than coloring them.
• For best results on dark fabrics, consider a white underbase, although our high opacity often makes this unnecessary.
• Regular maintenance of your screen and equipment will ensure consistent print quality.
