C Ink

OPAQUE

Applications

This ink is specially designed for screen printing, stencil and carved plate printing techniques.

It is a covering ink, designed for direct printing on dark clothes made from natural or mixed fibers.

Properties

This ink allows very fine and detailed printing. Its touch is nearly imperceptible, even though it has a very good covering power.

It is quite resistant to light exposure and rubbing.

The Opaque is easy to use, screens and tools are just to be washed with soapy water and jet of water. Beware when you leave the ink exposed to air too long : it might dry or get too thick.

This product smells nearly nothing and contains no dangerous solvent and no lead or heavy metal compounds.

Instructions for use

All our colored Opaque Inks may be mixed with each other, so you may create an infinite number of new shades (you may mix with Transparent ink, but it will lessen the covering power of Opaque ink). To lighten a color, you should add some Opaque Base in you Opaque ink.

If the ink has got too thick, add very slightly some water while mixing until normal consistency has been reached.

Fixing the color will be obtained, after complete drying, with a hot iron (5mn in cotton position, without vapor). If you have one, use a heating tunnel (3mn at 160°C).

On very dark material, to obtain a good covering, you should print a white layer first and dry it before you print other colors (or a second white layer).

48h after a good fixing, colors will resist in machine washing less or equal to 40°C.
