451 High Stretch ColorPro

Excalibur’s 451FF High Stretch Series is a high-opacity, colour-mixing system that produces simulated Pantone colours, standard 400 HS colours and custom colours.  This specialty plastisol offers printers a high-opacity, high-elongation ink that cures at a much lower temperature than traditional plastisol inks.  It is an excellent choice for direct printing on heat-sensitive fabrics that are prone to scorching or shrinking.  The 400 Series can also be used in the production of cold-peel transfers.

The system consists of two base, 11 readsy-for-use colours and five additional components called Booster Colours.  Booster Colours are very intense shades of Yellow, Red, Blue and Green that when added in increments between 5%-40% will increase the brightness and color accuracy of specific colours.  Most generally the colors in the 451PF mixing formulas that need boosting are colours that can be found in the three colours located in the center of each page of the Pantone® “C” Formula Guide.   400FF and 451FF ColorPRO® HS Bases can be utilized to create Pantone®, custom or standard 400 Series colours using Excalibur Pigment Concentrates in the PCPro Colour Mixing System.
