TIPS AND NOTES
Brand new fabrics are generally impregnated with finish. This may prevent a good penetration of ink into fibers, so it is always better to wash them before printing.
To obtain large lightly colored areas without risk of ringing (Spéciale Paréos), dilute first your ink with the "Base de coupure Spéciale Paréos" before water dilution (do not exceed five per one water dilution).
To lighten a color with its corresponding base, it is usually easier to add color into base until you get the good shade, rather than adding base to color.
In case of spots on the fabric, wash it quickly with soapy water while it is still wet (most of our products resist even bleach once dried).
To get beautiful gradations (Spéciale Paréos), moisten the fabric before spreading color.
Never hesitate to test before any new realization.
For fixing, you can also use an ironing press (without vapor).
Never use vapor to fix !
Opaque looks dull when wet. Don't worry, it gets bright as soon as it dries.
To print a light color on a very dark fabric (Opaque or Opaque White), you had rather print a first white layer and dry before you print the final color (even if it is white too).
The Opaque White may be mixed with Opaque and with Transparente. In the latter case, it whitens the color and increases its covering power.
When fixed, fabrics colored with our inks may be ironed directly, without need to put another cloth in between (but beware of the gutta, if it is based on latex - ours is not !).
Our products are bleach-resistant (so, beware the spots on your clothes !).
