Lancer Group’s STI7935 High-Density Silicone White is a high-opacity, easy-printing white to produce 3-D transfers on performance-wear fabrics. Even though this ink is opaque and bleed-resistant on many fabrics, for sub-dye polyester and other fabrics known for dye migration, it may be necessary to back this with STI7911 Defender Black Dye Blocker. Multiple coatings of direct emulsion, capillary films or a print/flash/print technique during printing may be needed to achieve desired effect. STI7935 White will not cure without being catalyzed.
STI7935 is part of the STI Silicone Heat Transfer System. Other components in this system that are necessary to produce high-density, silicone heat transfers are PET Film, STI7941 Stretch Underbase, and T-1 Adhesive Powder. Note: All components besides STI7902 and T-1 Powder must be catalyzed prior to printing.

Catalyst Mixing
STI7160 and STI7161:2-3% by weight mixed into STI7581 White and RFU colours. 3½-5% by weight mixed into STI7711 Defender Black, STI7838, STI7700, STI7702 STI7835 or any highdensity colour.
CAUTION: Amounts less than the minimum amounts will result in a finished ink that may not cure properly. The amounts of catalyst mixed into the inks should be carefully weighed using a digital gram scale. STI7160 is a liquid that must be shaken vigorously before adding. It is recommended that only the amount of ink that can be printed in a four to six-hour period be mixed at any one time. Higher amounts of catalyst will diminish the pot life of ink faster.
CAUTION
Always test finished prints for curing, adhesion, opacity, bleed-resistance and desired look prior to beginning full production runs. Lancer Group International cannot guarantee the results or back claims that this ink will test PVC-free or 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 PVC-free, phthalate-free and lead-free are available upon request.
