The company has recently extended its FlexCure screen printing inks range of with the addition of a new selection of 13 team and sport-related colours (formerly found in their 6100 Super Opaque Series Direct Print Plastisol). These contain a high pigment load for maximum coverage on dark garments, thus eliminating the need for under-basing. They also offer a flexible curing range – from a low 275°F/135°C to the standard 325°F/163°C.
The inks are suitable for printing on 100% cotton, 50/50 blends, non-woven polypropylene and some polyesters and are formulated for printing on automatic as well as manual printers and, with low build up. CoolTech products rely on the same chemistry found in their popular Cool White (7022) ink. It adds strength, elongation, and elasticity to inks, and enables Cool Sport inks to be printed on multiple substrates.
Cool Sport Colors print beautifully through higher mesh counts on light-coloured garments and can be reduced to obtain soft-hand, opaque prints. The ink is smooth and creamy with an even consistency and low tack. They are formulated for printing on automatic as well as manual printers and with low build-up.
