T-Shirt Screen Printing Inks--480 Series

480 Series
One Stroke Inks
Description
480 Series is a very creamy, easy-to-print ink for use as a general purpose color for T-shirts and sweats.
These inks are perfect for any environment with manual or automatic equipment. 480 Series is primarily for
screen printing light and medium colored garments or over a white underbase. A full selection of colors and
white is available.
Printable Fabrics
Light to medium 100% cotton or poly/cotton blend
T-shirts, sweats, and shorts. Use on 100% nylon
and 100% polyester is not recommended. Printing
over athletic inks is also not recommended.
Screen Mesh
110 to 230 monofilament screen mesh is
recommended depending on the detail of the art
work, color of the ink, and color of the garment.
Squeegees
60, 70, and 80 single durometer rubber is
recommended for most applications.
Flash Time & Temperature
Flash for 5 to 6 seconds with a standard infrared
unit. Excessive flash time or temperature is not
recommended. This may cause dye migration or
over-print adhesion difficulty.
Curing
The entire ink film must reach 320 degrees
Fahrenheit. Every conveyor dryer will operate
differently due to the large number of variables.
Under-cured garments will likely exhibit cracking
or flaking after washing.
Reducers
All of the inks we manufacture are ready-to-print. If
reducing is required, please add Curable Reducer,
Visco Minus, or Reducer #2 (5% maximum).
Cleaning
We distribute numerous cleaners for our plastisol
inks. These cleaners include: PW4, IR4, Franmar
Chemicals, Screen Wash, and Citrus Green.
Available Colors
A full selection of colors, white, and custom colors
are available. Provide a Pantone number, ink
swatch, or material sample for matching.
Important Note
Always perform a pretest print and test cure conditions on the fabric to be printed to establish the best
results. Stir inks vigorously before each use. Viscosity may need adjusting for best results. If there is ever a
