High-speed, high-opacity plastisol for printing Pantone® Colors on fabrics of any color! The MIXO Series allows the printer to mix color in the Pantone® Matching System. This is the most universally known color matching system. MIXO can be used on any color fabric right out of the can. It is easy to use, plus there are currently over 1000 colors in the Pantone® System. MIXO is the only plastisol licensed for black fabrics. Production won't be slowed by additional flash cure units or excessive build up under screens. A finished, ready to use ink (not a concentrate).
USES: For use on T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, denim, banners and pennants. For cotton/polyester blends where bleeding may occur, use UPADM-1057 Premium Low Bleed White as a first down base.
OPACITY: Excellent on all shirt colors.
PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:
DRYING TIME: Inks will fully cure when entire ink layer reaches 300°F. Mixopaque will not air-dry in the screen. Note: Dryers may have to be set at 325°F to achieve a complete cure.
SCREEN FABRIC: In order to achieve the brilliance of the PANTONE Colors when printed on black fabrics with no white underlay, a 60T (24T metric) monofilament mesh is reccommeded. However, when printing on light fabrics, meshes from 86-230 are suitable.
The MIXO Series plastisols have been printed through meshes ranging from 60-175T (24-70 metric) monofilament with excellent opacity. Colors which are mixed according to MIX-OPAKE System formulations are designed to be printed through a 60T (24T metric) monofilament mesh on to black 100% cotton fabric, with no white underlay. Specific color strengths may appear different printed through finer mesh..SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water-soluble, hand-cut photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products.
MODIFIERS: Use MIXO-9070 to reduce opacity or soften the hand of the ink. Can be mixed 10-50% by weight depending on the color of the fabric and the desired opacity or softness of the finished print.
REDUCER: Use UPLUS-9000 sparingly (2% or less).
ADHESION: Excellent on most fabrics.
WASHUP: Use SYS-1925 or biodegradable washup SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
ALWAYS TEST PRINT BEFORE PRODUCTION!
