Technical Tips: If you use Adobe Photoshop for making color separations, call Union Ink and we will send you the Tru-Tone Ink Photoshop Setup values for the most accurate process color separations. These files can also be installed from this cd-rom, or downloaded from the internet at our web site
The Tru-Tone ink set also includes a Fine White Printer (PRPL-1080), a transparent white halftone ink that is printed through a fifth screen to provide brighter highlight colors, minimize dot gain and enhance detail in pastel colors.
Five highly-pigmented Triple Strength process color inks are available for printing with an underbase white or a discharge underbase to obtain true four-color process prints on black shirts. They can also be used with Process Halftone Base (PRPL-9080) to create process colors with color values unavailable with the standard Tru-Tone process colors.
We also offer a variation on our standard Process Magenta. Process Hot Magenta (PRPL-3085) can be used when you want to accentuate reds, oranges, and flesh tones in your design.

Printing: For best results Tru-Tone inks should be printed on white fabrics. The color values will be altered if printed on colored fabrics.

Additives: Tru-Tone plastisol inks are supplied ready to print. Any modification to these inks can have an adverse effect on their performance.. If necessary, reduce with small amounts of Reducer/Detackifier (PLUS-9000). Tru-Tone Clear Base (PRPL-9080) can be used when necessary to reduce color concentrations.

Stencils: For optimum results use solvent resistant dual-cure emulsions. Do not use water-resistant or one-part photopolymer emulsions. Under-cured stencils may break down during printing.

Mesh: For best results use 305-355 (120-140 threads/cm) plain weave monofilament polyester. Using coarser meshes will result in increased ink deposits and stronger color shades. If you are using retensionable frames, adjust the mesh tension to at least 25 Newtons/cm. Be sure that all screens are at the same tension.

Opacity: Tru-Tone inks are transparent.
