Introducing the new and improved Legacy White 2.0 7014 Plastisol Ink, a state‐of‐the‐art screen printing ink designed for outstanding performance. Engineered with a super creamy viscosity and medium body, this ink is perfect for both automatic and manual presses, ensuring ease of use and consistent results.
Key benefits include:
-
High Pigment & Low Bleed: Delivers exceptional brightness and opacity while minimizing dye migration on cotton/poly blends and most polyester substrates.
-
Fast Flashing & Low Tack: Designed for rapid production speeds, the ink spot dries with minimal tack, helping maintain smooth underprint adhesion when additional layers are applied.
-
Flexible Curing: As part of the FlexCure™ line, it cures efficiently within a temperature range of 300°F to 325°F (149°C to 163°C), allowing for versatile application across different production environments.
-
Improved Printability: With reduced squeegee pressure requirements and compatibility with finer screen meshes, Legacy White 2.0 not only saves on ink consumption but also delivers a softer finish on fabrics.
While Legacy White 2.0 is formulated to reduce bleeding, it’s important to note that it is a low-bleed ink—not a completely non-bleed formula. For optimal results, always conduct test prints and long-term fabric evaluations before full production. Additionally, stirring the ink prior to printing and after any additives are mixed will help maintain its superior rheological properties. Adjusting spot cure settings can further enhance performance by preventing over-curing and ensuring the best adhesion for subsequent print layers.
Elevate your screen printing with Legacy White 2.0 7014 Plastisol Ink and enjoy a balance of efficiency, quality, and cost savings on every print.
SPOT FLASHING
Legacy White™ 2.0 will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack. Dwell time depends 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 make the ink tacky. When you spot dry, you are only
partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should just dry to the touch, with
no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing the underprint white may cause inter-coat
adhesion problems with the inks printed on top of the white ink. Final fusing or curing
occurs in the dryer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Legacy White™ is a low bleed ink, not a non-bleed ink. On some types of fabric, bleeding
or dye migration may occur. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning
production. It is best to do some long-term testing on fabrics to determine if they are
going to bleed. Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.
Legacy White™ 2.0 was formulated to make printing opaque white easy. Hand printing is
less tiring because less squeegee pressure is needed. The result is an improved operator
performance due to superior ink rheology. Automatic equipment can be adjusted to
lower pressure settings, thus improving screen life, squeegee durability and overall print
quality.
Legacy White™ 2.0, compared to other opaque whites, prints more easily. You will find
that a finer screen mesh can be used to achieve the same opacity as a more open mesh.
This means less ink will be needed, a real money saver in terms of ink usage. It also
means a softer hand on flashed or finished fabrics.
Adding any reducers or additives can lower bleed resistance, reduce opacity, or increase
cure times of ink. STIR the ink prior to printing on press and after the addition of reducers
or additives.
Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production
run.
