Excalibur’s 835PF High-Density Series is a range of very thick plastisol inks formulated to produce thick, 3-D ink films with sharp edges when printed through very thick stencils. 835PF is very opaque, has exceptional film strength that resists cracking and has a soft finish.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Very thick ink that when printed through thick stencils produces a stunning 3D-print with sharp edges and flat surfaces.
• High-opacity formula easily covers dark backgrounds of 100% cotton and even some blends.
• Completely phthalate-free and lead-free formulation complies with all standards of Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) banning phthalates and heavy metals in textile-printing inks.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Gel Temperature: Ink will gel on surface at 240° F (116° C).

Curing: Ink film will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches 320° F (160° C.) and held at this temperature for at least 15 seconds.  Because high-density prints are very thick it will be necessary to slow down belt speed of dryer or increase heat to fully cure the thick ink film.

Mesh: A 60-110/inch (24T-43Tcm) may be used depending upon amount of detail in design.

Stencil: Thick films compatible with plastisol inks between 150-400 microns produce excellent results.  Also printers have achieved good results coating/drying/coating multiple times with high-solids direct emulsions.

Modification: Add EXC Thickener in increments of 1-2% by weight until desired thickness is reached if necessary.

Squeegee: 70 durometer or 90/70/90 triple durometer blades are recommended.

Printing Technique: A print/flash/print technique with an off-contact adjustment between layers may be necessary to produce desired results.

Clean-up: Use Enviro Series 2000 Green or Enviro Series TR Blend.

CAUTION

Always test finished prints for curing, adhesion, bleed-resistance, ink film thickness and desired look prior to beginning full production runs. Lancer Group International cannot guarantee the results or back claims that this mixed ink will test phthalate-free if any additive other than an additive manufactured by Lancer Group International is used to modify this ink. Test results by a third-party laboratory verifying all components used to produce this ink are phthalate-free and lead-free are available upon request.
