We recommend using WR-Blue or DC-Pink, both require mixing diazo but are very water resistant. Remember you should also degrease your screen before coating with emulsion, we recommend using our Hyper Haze which will degrease and remove stains/ghosts as well. Ecotex&#######xAE;&#######xA0;Water Based Screen Cleaner. 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:&#######xA0;This ink can also be used a discharge ink by adding the discharge powder. When using as a discharge ink, add just enough discharge powder for the amount of ink you want to use during that print run. Normally this will be somewhere 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 roughly one hour. Flash and Curing Guidelines. Flash forced air flash is optimal. For curing should be a minimum of 90 seconds at 320F. For the best results 2-3 minutes at 300-320F. Before you do any large print, we recommend doing a stretch test and a wash test to ensure you cured and printed correctly before going into production. Increase cure time if testing fails. We recommend only using natural fibers best results will be seen on 100% cotton. Synthetic fibers will&#######xA0;not discharge properly. Helpful Info From Seasoned Printers. Some colors do not discharge as well as others some examples are red, blue & purples. Color matching may not be exact although we say that roughly 90% of our colors match, matches cannot be guaranteed due to the differences in how fabrics are dyed this results in your prints coming out more faded. If you&#####x2019;re going for a vintage look this is perfect. Quick Reference Guide &#######xA0;ratings are based on 1-5 scale 5 being the best option 1 being the worst.
