Additional Information

Print according to color sequence. A ready-mixed base is recommended to beginners on screen-printing. Otherwise, you can mix the color yourself. Just ensure not to incur over-pigment load.

To achieve a smooth surface print, heat press curing is recommended.

To achieve good color opacity and brilliance during screen-printing (manual), maintain medium pressure and speed with a 45º to 60º angle.

Keep the screen wet by flooding the screen with just the right amount of ink or keep the screen clean.
