Ecotex Water Based Inks are ready to use straight from the container! Ecotex Water Based Inks can also be used as a discharge ink by simply mixing in Discharge Activator (sold separately). The inks are bright, vivid and can be mixed to create all colors in the pantone book. By using Ecotex water-based Inks, you'll be able to print on high mesh counts that will produce high image detail. Water Based Inks produce an extremely soft hand feel on your garment. Mesh Guidelines: 160-305 Curing: Should be a minimum of 90 seconds at 320°F. For the best results 2-3 minutes at 320°F. Flashing: Flash at 105°C/220°F - 7 - 12 seconds Recommended Clean Up: On the press/in the sink - Water Based Screen Cleaner For Optimal Use: Activate just enough ink for the job at hand. Mist the screen with water during high volume runs to prevent the ink from drying out. Mixing Information: Water based printing: Our ink can be used straight out of the bottle as a traditional water-based ink. We recommend only doing this technique on light color garments. Discharge Printing: This ink can also be used a discharge ink by adding the discharge powder. When using as a discharge ink, add enough discharge powder to the amount of ink you need for the print run. This will be somewhere in between 3-5% by weight. Mix thoroughly to make sure no chunks or grains are visible. Once the powder is added to the ink it will last for one hour. Emulsion Recommendations: We recommend using a water-resistant emulsion such as WR-Blue or DC-Pink, both require mixing diazo. Remember to degrease your screen before coating emulsion, Hyper Haze will degrease and remove stains/ghosts. CMS-Color Mixing System: Our color mixing system is designed, so you can create any color you want in the pantone system with just 14 colors. If you’re interested in trying out all 14 colors, you can access our color kit and try the whole thing out instead of just one color. Best
