Well suited for automated equipment although excellent results can be achieved in
almost any printing operation.
SOFT-HAND PRINTS
For softer feeling prints on light colored fabrics, use 20% to 25% by volume of 720
Softhand Clear Base. Reducing the viscosity of the ink using 1110 Curable Reducer and
printing through finer mesh counts can also greatly improve the softness (hand) of the
finished print.
SPOT FLASHING
The 700 Series inks will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack. Dwell time is dependent
on the spot dryer used. In some cases, you may have to lower the heat of the spot cure
unit because too much heat may actually make the ink tacky. When you spot dry, you are
only partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should be just dry to the
touch, with no lift-off,
RECOMMENDED FABRICS 100% Cotton 50/50 Cotton/Polyester Blends
INK APPLICATION 700 Series Colors should be printed without any modifications
ADDITIVES If modification is necessary, use 1% to 3% by weight of 1110 Curable Reducer for the standard inks and 1099 Low Bleed Curable Reducer for the HP inks
