New and Improved Ultimate Blackâ„¢ is a non-phthalate, high pigment, fast flashing, low tack, high performance plastisol screen printing ink.
Ultimate Blackâ„¢ provides a deep black color that is super creamy, medium bodied and is easy to print on automatic or manual presses. As a result, less pressure is needed to print to clear the screen.
FEATURES:
- Ultimate Blackâ„¢ was formulated to make printing opaque black easy, so hand printing is less tiring. The result is improved operator performance. Automatic equipment can be adjusted to lower pressure settings, thus improving screen life and squeegee durability.
- Ultimate Blackâ„¢ prints so easily that a finer screen mesh can be used to achieve the same opacity as what you would expect from other opaque black inks at lower mesh counts.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Spot Flashing - Ultimate Blackâ„¢ 717 will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack. Dwell time is dependent 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 actually make the ink tacky. When you spot dry, you are only partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should be just dry to the touch, with no lift-off, but not totally fused. Final fusing or curing should occur in the dryer.
- Recommended Fabrics:
- 100% Cotton
- Some Polyester
- 50/50 Cotton/Polyester Blends
- Ink Application - Ultimate Blackâ„¢ 717 should be used right from the container without any modifications
- Additives - If modification is necessary, use 1% to 5% by weight 1110 Curable Reducer
- Screen Mesh - 110–305 t/in (43–120 t/cm) monofilament.
- Emulsion - Any direct or indirect emulsion or capillary film in the 35 to 70 micron range
- Squeegee - 65–70 Durometer, sharp edge.
- Cure Temperatures - 275°F (135°C) to 325ºF (163ºC) for one minute. Dependent on dryer speed and temperature settings.
- Storage of Ink Containers - 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Keep containers well sealed.
- Clean-up - Any eco-friendly plastisol screen wash
