This ink assures non-migration of fabric dye into the print and leaves a very high opaque, soft-hand finish.

GI-BR Series is ready-to-use straight from the container.

Important Note: GI-BR Series may not be used for heat transfer applications. Stir ink before using especially if separation occurs during storage. Always store container with lid on to ensure consistently smooth viscosity.

Note: Pre-test on actual substrates before any full production run, for dye bleeding, adhesion, wash fastness and other desired effects. 

FINISH: Durable, soft-hand finish.

COLORS: Available low-bleed opaque colors

SCREEN FABRIC: Mesh counts up to 160 mono-filament polyester (64T European Mesh).

STENCIL: Dual-sensitized direct method photo emulsion or SBQ pre-sensitized photo emulsion or equivalent

CURE/DRYING: Heat-cure at approximately 320°F (160°C) for 1 to 3 minutes. Will not air-dry.

MODIFICATIONS: In situations where bleed resistance and opacity is not critical, extend with GI-GP 081 Clear Extender Base for longer ink mileage.

To reduce ink viscosity with RE703 or RE704, add 5% or less (by weight of ink). Reducer is to be used very sparingly and only when RE705 can be added up to 10-20% (by weight of ink) if Bleed Resistance, Opacity color shade is not critical. 

SQUEEGEE: When printing textiles, use a medium hard (65-75 durometer) squeegee.

STORAGE: Plastisol responds to heat. Always store at cool room temperatures below 90°F (32°C). Avoid exposing inks to elevated temperatures before printings.
