Lancer Group’s STI7900 Silicone Clear Base is a special effects base used when mixing metallic, glitter or glow in the dark inks. It can also be used to overprint spot colours to give the colour an even glossier appearance and better durability. Even though this ink is opaque (except Glow-in-the-Dark) 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.
STI7900 is part of the STI Silicone Heat Transfer System. Other components in this system that are necessary to produce silicone heat transfers are PET Film, STI7960 White, STI7940 Stretch Clear, STI7933 Colours, STI7941 Stretch Underbase, and T-1 Adhesive Powder. Note: All components except T-1 Powder must be catalyzed prior to printing.
