To Our Many Customers And Friends
For more than 85 years we at McLogan Supply Co. Inc. have endeavored to
bring you the best possible service and supplies. This catalog is but an extension
of that desire.
Here is a brief history of our company. The business was started in 1922 by
J.L. McLogan as the first sign and silkscreen supply house west of Chicago. The
company became a NAZ-DAR (now NAZ-DAR/KC) dealer in September 1922
and is among the oldest silkscreen supplier in the country.
Until the untimely death of Mr. McLogan in 1941 the company name was
McLogan Sign Painters Supply House and was used until 1964, when the company
was incorporated with the new name McLogan Supply Co., Inc.
Our company has grown with Southern California. in 1970 we opened our
Orange County facility and have moved three times to larger stores to service our
customers better. In 1975 we opened our San Diego store and have moved to larger
quarters in 1999.
Thanks to our customers and friends over the years we have been able to grow
to service screen printing and sign companies better with NEW products, equipment
and supplies as they become available.
We would personally like to thank all our customers, many of whom have become
friends and have made this growth possible.

We want all our customers to regard our facilities as an extension of your own business - for instance: It is inevitable that
now and then you will be confronted with a job that may present a problem to you...if so,why not pass it along to us. More

Day-Glo®
215 Sunbonded® Brushing Paint
1 heavy coat of DAY-GLO 215 paint (1.5 mils dry) - 3 to 6 months
DAY-GLO SUNBONDED Brushing Paint is a premium fluorescent brushing paint. Maximum lightfastness and film integrity
are dependent upon the use of DAY-GLO SUNBONDED FILTERAY® Type “D” (clear overcoat) which is described below.
1 heavy coat of DAY-GLO 215 paint (1.5 mils dry) with 1 uniform
overcoat of FILTERAY Type “D” (1.5 mils dry) - 6 to 12 months
2 heavy coats of DAY-GLO 215 paint (3 mils dry) with 1 uniform
overcoat of FILTERAY Type “D” (1.5 mils dry) - 12 to 24 months
Available Colors:
Studies indicate that if an all-purpose single color is desired for
impact, Blaze Orange and Fire Orange are generally best for contrast with most natural backgrounds. A significant characteristic
of DAY-GLO fluorescent colors is that they do not tend to appear
white, gray, or black (achromatic) at extreme distances and at
dusk, dawn or low light conditions as do most non-fluorescent
colors.
One coat of DAY-GLO SUNBONDED 215 Brushing Paint is usually sufficient for interior markings as the color is virtually unaffected by light sources other than direct sunlight. For store fronts,
panel truck signs, etc., which must last a year or more, apply a
coat of FILTERAY Type “D” overcoat over two coats of DAY-GLO
SUNBONDED 215 Brushing Paint.
Undercoat: DAY-GLO SUNBONDED 215 Brushing Paints are
semitransparent and therefore brightest when applied over a
clean white surface. White semi-gloss enamels, white enamel
undercoaters, primer-sealers and bulletin blockout whites are
ideally suited for this purpose. Over old finishes, apply a white
undercoat or primer that offers good adhesion to both the old
finish and new DAY-GLO paint. However, best performance can
be achieved by removing old finishes and starting with a freshly
primed surface.
Applications:
The DAY-GLO SUNBONDED Brushing Paint can be used anywhere that requires a high visibility brushing paint. Some of the
general areas of use include:
Graphic Arts: For outdoor advertising signs, painted bulletins,
store signs, truck signs, and trade exhibits.
Safety: For aviation, industrial and marine uses on aircraft,
ground support equipment, navigational aids, safety markings,
equipment, machinery, fire protection equipment, first aid kits,
traffic controls, boats, buoys, docks, and life saving equipment.
Hobby-Sports: For use on models and toys, markings on easily
lost sporting equipment (boomerangs, arrows, fishing gear) and
identification markings on personal equipment.

CEL-VINYL COLORS
Outstandingly brilliant, high chrome, photogenic, unusually opaque,
quick drying, smooth flowing vinyl acrylic copolymer colors for animation cel painting, overlays of all types, animation background
painting and for general use by all artists, illustrators, designers,
architectural renderers and hobbyists.
of Day-Glo Color Corp.
Sunbonded® FILTERAY® Type “D”
CEL-VINYL is available in 44 COLORS, 32 GRAYS, 646 TINTS, 10
RADIANT fluorescent COLORS, BLACK, WHITE and TRANSPARENT BASE. These highest quality artists colors are formulated for
use on acetate, illustration and Bristol board, water color paper,
drawing paper, canvas, wood, foil, plastic, vinyl, glass and on most
clean, non-oily surfaces.
FILTERAY Type “D” is a clear overcoat designed for use over the
215 Brushing Paint. The FILTERAY Type “D” absorbs some of the
harmful rays of the sun that cause premature fading of fluorescent colors during continued exposure to direct sunlight. A top
coat of FILTERAY Type “D” can double The lightfastness of DAYGLO fluorescent colors. Ordinary varnishes and overcoats do not
have the protective action of SUNBONDED FILTERAY overcoat
and can do more harm than good when used over DAY-GLO fluorescent colors.
FILTERAY Type “D” is not recommended for interior use where
coatings are exposed to black light or artificial ultraviolet light
sources. Fluorescent surfaces coated with FILTERAY will not fluoresce in the dark under black light.
The final surface produced by the FILTERAY Type “D” overcoat
is harder and has a higher gloss than the DAY-GLO 215 Brushing
Paint alone. This means that it will be more resistant to wear and
more easily cleaned. The quantity of FILTERAY overcoat required
is usually 2/3 that of the paint.
The useful outdoor life of the color is determined by the thickness and uniformity of the DAY-GLO 215 coating. For greatly
increased resistance to sunlight, an overcoat of SUNBONDED
FILTERAY Type “D” is required.
The following table gives a guide to expected lightfastness. The
lower number is representative of exposure in southern latitudes;
the larger number in northern latitudes.
CEL-VINYL COLORS are made with the finest artists' pigments
available and the highest grade of vinyl acrylic copolymer. CELVINYL COLORS are completely intermixable, non-bleeding, light
resistant, dry quickly to a matte finish and are thinned with water.
CEL-VINYL may be removed from brushes with mild soap and
water while still wet and when dry may be removed from eels and
brushes with isopropyl alcohol. CEL-VINYL paint is non-hygroscopic and is not affected by wet or dry weather. CEL-VINYL is waterproof when dry and will not chip, crack or flake.
CEL-VINYL may be used in an air brush if properly thinned with
water and if great care is taken to keep all parts of the air brush thoroughly clean. Like other acrylic artists paints, CEL-VINYL COLORS
offer the artist a variety of techniques - from opaque and transparent
water color techniques to those resembling oil painting.
All CEL-VINYL COLORS are constantly tested and their accuracy
and consistency maintained by our use of the Spectrophotometer.

How to install signs on chain link fences using SIGN LINK
There are four grid sizes made in chain link fencing, but two inch is the most common. When determining where
to drill the holes in the board to instalI SIGN LINK measure the distance from the center of one diamond to the
next. After that simply drill holes in the board or metal plate to match those distances. SIGN LINK will allow
movement on the grid should the holes not be drilled exactly as they should be.

How to install signs on "U" Channel or Square Sign Posts using SIGN LINK
The most common "U" channel sign post is shown in the photo's below and all have 3/8 inch holes at one inch
increments. There are also sign posts that are 1.5 and 2 inch square (not shown) that have the same hole increments. SIGN LINK has round protrusions designed to seat themselves in the holes above and below the hole

SMART A-FRAME SYSTEM
Wood Stalk is a revolutionary new fiberboard made of wheat
straw fiber rather than wood fiber and manufactured by
"The Dow Chemical Company."
Wood Stalk is moisture resistant and will not swell even when
submerged in water.
Wood Stalk is superior to MDO plywood boards in outdoor
applications because wood stalk does not allow water to enter
around the edge that can rot the inside of the board.
Why Melamine is superior to paint. When screen printing, mistakes can be cleaned off with lacquer thinner without affecting
the melamine finish. Likewise when removing vinyl lettering,
the adhesive residue can be removed without affecting the
melamine finish. For these reasons melamine is a superior finish to paint in outside sign board application. For screen printing on melamine some enamel and multi-purpose inks have
worked well, but pre-testing first is recommended.
Smart Design purchases Wood Stalk board with factory overlaid melamine on both sides that produces the best board in the
world for making A-Frame sign boards. The edge of all boards
are bullnose finished and then double painted to offer superior
edge protection.
THREE A-Frame sizes available
All A-Frames Signs come completely assembled with 12" or 16"
"SMART DESIGN" Hinge Handles and installed with tee nuts
and screws so the boards can be separated for screen printing.
The A-Frame will also come with "SMART DESIGN" Sign Feet
installed, which normally will not interfere with screen printing
should that be necessary.

Laser Buddy
Print your laser-printer documents as

can well before from the document,
apply a very lightcoat - almost a “mist”
coat - moving from side to side, drying
(20-30 seconds).
How does it work?
Laser Buddy® causes th toner and the
material behind the toner to reflect less light. It also
causes the toner particles to “fuse” together, giving a
more solid coverage not only does it look darker to the
eye,but appears even darker to process cameras, and
platemakers. It also reflects light away from the lense.

Super Blue Screen Etch
Super Blue Screen Etch
Solvents
Screen-Etch is applied on glass using the screen printing technique. After screening, the etching material is permitted to
remain on the glass from 15 to 90 seconds. Exceeding the recommended time period allows the etching paste to go into
vapor and etch the perimeter of the screened design, causing
a haloing effect. This can be avoided by washing the glass off
within the recommended time. The etching material is
washed off of the glass with waler. The material can stick to
the glass, so force-fully sprayed water should be used when
washing. When washing by hand, use rubber gloves to push
The used material off the glass under running water. Water
should never be used to thin Super Blue Screen-Etch, as it will
dilute tile etchants and reduce quality. Screen-Etch Thinner is
designed for this purpose. It is made not to decrease the etching power of Super Blue Screen-Etch. A water resistant emulsion should be used. A screen fabric with a mesh size between
126 and 200 is recommended. The screen in the resting position should be 1/32" - 1/16" above the glass.
These solvents are for industrial use only with approved safety measures and procedures. They are not intended for use on
hobbies or in the home.
The flashpoint is the minimum temperature at which a liquid
gives off an ignitable vapor close to its surface. Solvents are
available in quarts, gallons and 5 gallons.

Naz-Dar/KC labels and Material Safety Data Sheets conform
to individual State and Federal OSHA standards. This is
accomplished by providing information pertaining to all hazards associated with a product, along with first aid procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency.
Additionally, Material Safety Data Sheets provide instruction
for the handling, storage, shipping and disposal of potentially
hazardous materials.
Naz-Dar/KC has made a major commitment to the continued
development of the Regulatory Compliance Department.
Customers are encouraged to call the department in cases of
emergency and overexposure or with questions pertaining to
the company’s products.

Glossary of Common Screen Printing Terms
ADHESION TEST: any of a variety of test methods used to determine the adequacy of ink or coating adhesion to a substrate. A commonly used test method is
ASTM#D-3359, also referred to as the Cross-cut tape test.
DIRECT EMULSION: a liquid photo-polymer emulsion used as a screen printing
stencil which is coated onto a stretched screen, dried, exposed through an imaged
film positive by actinic light and developed.
BINDER: the portion of the vehicle in an ink composition that, in combination
with the pigments, forms a film.
DIRECT/INDIRECT PHOTOSCREEN STENCIL: a stencil made by adhering a
gelatin coated sheet to the underside of the tensioned screen fabric with a photosensitized emulsion, drying, exposing through a film positive to actinic light,
developing and stripping away of the gelatin’s plastic support sheer.
BLEED: I . the spreading or migration of an ink component or dye into an area
where it is not wanted; 2. the spreading or running of a pigment color by action of
a solvent.
DOT GAIN: the tendency of the printed halftone dot to change in size at the
moment of ink imprinting, thus changing the overall visual quality of the print.
Due to a number of variables, the printed dot will be larger than its film counterpart. Also called Dot Growth or Dot Spread.
BLOCKING: an undesired adhesion between layers of material placed in contact
under moderate pressure and/or temperature in storage or use. Usually occurs in
a stacked prior to thorough drying.
DRAIZE TEST: a method for estimating the skin or eye irritation due to contact
with a chemical substance.
BLOOM: the bluish-grey milky veil which appears on the surface of prints under
adhesive conditions of heat and humidity. It is usually the result of too rapid solvent evaporation which causes condensation of moisture on the surface.

formation of screen printing inks and coatings (not to include curing, a separate
process). Various stages include set-to-touch; dust-free; tack-free; dry-to-touch;
dry-hard; dry-through; and dry-to-recoat.

Indoor Only/Outdoor
Waterbase Ink Introduction
With the wealth of changes in environmental regulations sweeping across the country, it comes as no surprise that usage of
water-base inks is growing dramatically. The EPA and OSHA,
along with fire and liability insurance carriers, are working to
reduce the use of traditional solvent-based inks. Growing printer
understanding and acceptance of water-base technology, is significantly boosting usage.
NOTE: “Fill-in” is very similar to “dry-in” experienced with sol-
vent-based inks. Do not try and correct this problem with
retarder - it only makes the problem worse. If edge “fill-in”
occurs, check the print side of the stencil to see if it is “tacky”. If
it is, breakdown has been caused by either improper drying or
exposure.
• Stencil does not adhere to the mesh.
Thinners and Retarders: Retarders are needed to prevent dry-in
How To Use Water-Base Ink
when printing fine detail or during periods of high temperature
plant conditions. It should be used sparingly. Amounts over 10%
will cause drying problems.
The use of water-base inks does not require any special equipment or techniques except that the stencil system be both water
and solvent proof. Water-base inks are mixed and dried the same
as any other ink system. As with any ink system adjustments
must always be made for print detail, mesh size, press speed and
plant conditions.
Screen Tape: Screen tape must be both water and solvent proof.
Cleaning Dried Screens: Water-base inks are formulated to stay
open in the screen. If for any reason it does dry, use an ink
remover with a dampened cloth. When the mesh is clear wash
the open area with a water soaked cloth. Residual screen cleaner
can cause printing problems if not removed.
Mesh: Water-base inks can be run through the same meshes as
solvent-based systems. A mesh of 200-230 is suggested for high
coverage and 255-305 for fine detail printing.
Mesh Preparation: Stencil material manufacturer recommendations
should be followed. Rinse and neutralize thoroughly after use
mesh prep or haze remover.
Coating: Three inside and two print side wet-on-wet coatings
with a sharp edged scoop coater. This should yield 5-8 microns of
emulsion on the print side.
Drying: The most common cause of stencil failure using water-
base ink comes from not thoroughly drying the emulsion prior to
exposure and after wash out. The emulsion coated screen should
be dried in a clean, dehumidified area. A drying cabinet is preferable. A small heater is recommended as an aid in drying and the
area should have good air circulation. The drying area should
not exceed 104°F. Failure to remove water from the emulsion can
interfere with the curing process. Thorough drying of the emulsion is critical-even more so than if the stencil was going to be
used with a solvent system.
Blockout: Blockouts require the same resistance to water and sol-
vents as the stencil. Emulsions perform very well. If using an
emulsion as a blockout, dry it thoroughly, give it optimum exposure and wash away the uncured portion of the emulsion.
Note: If the exposed emulsion is not washed, the uncured residue
will redissolve, causing blockage during printing.
Stencils must be fully cured. Stencil failure will result from
underexposure.
Wash Out: Wash out unexposed stencil areas. Then dry screen
thoroughly so the emulsion hardens.
Use of water-base inks with an improperly dried or exposed
stencil will result in:
• The stencil becoming “tacky”, causing poor release of the
screen from the print surface and stencil breakdown during wash
up.
• The stencil material will begin to breakdown causing “fill-in”
at the edges of the print.

Screen Printing on Plastics
The inks described on the following pages were specially formulated for printing on plastic surfaces. It should be remembered,
however, that several ink lines described also have applications
on other surfaces. Among these are 59000 Series Synthetic
Enamels (acrylics, treated polyethylene, treated polyesters), 6100
Series Fast Drying Enamel (polyethylene), 7200 Series Industrial
Lacquer (acrylics, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate,
pre-treated polyesters, pyroxylin coatings), Unipol (treated polyethylene or polypropylene) and Echo Print.
Plasticizers
Most inks formulated for printing on plastics contain plasticizers
which, after contact with the plastic surface, are required to reach
a state of equilibrium with the plastic stock. In many cases, the
equilibrium will not be reached until at least 24 hours after printing and this is the reason why this minimum time lapse is essential after test printing and before commencing a production run.
Only then should the printed product be tested for adhesion, distortion of the plastic surface as well as suitability for embossing
or debossing.
Perhaps the most important factors which have contributed
towards the growth of the screen printing industry are the introduction and increased use of new plastic surfaces and the ink
manufacturers’ development of products which will adhere to
these stocks.
Principle Groups of Screen Inks
Screen inks for printing on plastics dry either by solvent evaporation or by oxidation and/or polymerization. Lacquers, for example, dry exclusively by solvent evaporation and form a chemical
bond caused by the action of the solvents contained in the ink.
Oxidizing or polymerizing inks will bond as a result of a high
degree of specific adhesion or mechanical bond.
Apart from the obvious fact that the printer has to select the right
ink for the surface, there are three cardinal rules to be followed
by all screen printers engaged in printing on plastics.
CAUTION:
Alkyd enamels, modified alkyds, epoxy esters and epoxy links
are included in the oxidizing and polymerizing group. These
materials find their greatest application in the printing of thermosetting plastics as well as certain highly solvent resistant thermoplastics such as polyethylene and Mylar. They may be used to
decorate other thermoplastics provided the item is not to be
formed after printing. After drying or curing, these inks are so
highly cross linked that they do not possess good forming characteristics.
1. Always test the recommended ink on the stock to be imprinted prior to a production run. 2. Allow at least 24 hours after last
printing to evaluate the suitability of the ink and its adhesion
to the surface. 3. Before using, user shall determine the suitability of the product for his intended use.
Plastic surfaces vary greatly in chemical type and are also subject
to frequent modifications made by their manufacturers. In some
instances. these surfaces even vary from batch to batch, while
some plastics such as polyethylene will reject any ink unless the
surface is pretreated. In such cases, the printer is advised not to
rely on claims that the stock supplied has already been pretreated by the manufacturer, as age, storage and handling will have a
detrimental effect on ink adhesion.
End Use
The end use of the item being imprinted will dictate which of
these ink types should be used for any given application. Epoxy
inks, for example, are ideal for decorating a phenolic part which
requires a high degree of solvent and abrasion resistance.
Lacquer type screen inks are primarily used in the printing of
thermoplastic materials. NAZ-DAR/KC manufactures a wide
variety of lacquer type inks based on many different resins;
acrylics, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, ethyl cellulose, nitro cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, and even some that may
use several of these basic “film formers” in the same formulation.
With this wide selection of inks available it is possible to choose
one which will have similar chemical and physical properties to
those of the plastic surface to be imprinted.
Principle Groups of Plastics
Plastics are classified as either thermoplastic or thermosetting.
The former simply means that the material, no matter how old,
can be reshaped or reformed and includes such plastics as
acrylics, cellulose acetate, polyethylene, polystyrene, and vinyls.
Thermosetting plastics, once they have been shaped and cured,
cannot be reconverted. These include phenolics, polyesters, and
melamines.
It is important that all specifications relative to the end use and
relative to the particular plastic required for printing be thoroughly understood by the printer and his customer. Such
requirements as heat, abrasion, solvent and chemical resistance
as well as degrees of gloss, weathering and light-fastness requirements of color must be understood to insure the proper selection
of ink for each job.
72
Ink Versatility
Surface-Contaminated Plastics
A number of NAZ-DAR/KC inks, particularly those of the
lacquer type are extremely versatile and exhibit excellent
adhesion to a number of plastics thus allowing the printer to
considerably reduce his ink inventory.
Adhesion of inks to plastic surfaces may be adversely affected
by the presence of mold-release agents. Many of these lubricants can be removed from the plastic surface by using inert
solvents which will not attack the plastic itself. Silicone lubricants are a special problem and may require the use of special
alkaline cleaners. Many plastics are treated with surfaceactive agents to reduce their static charge and minimize dirt
and dust collection. These may also impair the adhesion of
the ink.
Solvents
Also, if excessive amounts of active solvents are used in thinning, puckering or warpage may occur resulting in register
problems when printing subsequent colors. Not all lacquer
type inks are dependent upon solvent action for adhesion. In
certain instances the presence of active solvents in the lacquer
can cause problems to the printer. This is particularly true
when printing certain unplasticized thermoplastics such as
styrene or acrylics. These products, particularly after they
have been preformed or injection molded, are subject to
severe “crazing”. This gives the appearance of tiny distinct
surface cracks or internal cracks in the plastic. These result
from a release of the internal stresses and strains
when too active a solvent system is used in the ink.
Pigment Selection
NAZ-DAR/KC uses a great variety of pigments. Light fastness and durability of color are term which are frequently
misunderstood. A single color may in itself possess excellent
permanency. However, if this color is tinted with white or
shaded with other colors, the permanency may be drastically
reduced. By the same token if a color is reduced with compatible clear to obtain various degrees of transparency or translucency a marked reduction in permanency may again take
place.
NAZ-DAR/KC uses a balanced solvent system in the manufacture of inks in order to minimize certain printing problems.
The inks contain an optimum amount of active solvents and
selected dilutents to achieve optimum flow properties. For
this reason it is extremely important that only solvents supplied or recommended by NAZ-DAR/KC should be used for
thinning. If this rule is not adhered to, many problems can be
encountered. An excessive amount of improper retarder may
trap in what appears to be a dried ink film and finally evaporate after the sheets have been stacked, resulting in blocking
or sticking.
NAZ-DAR/KC’s pigments are carefully selected to prevent
“bleeding” when printing on plastic surfaces. A knowledge of
the particular characteristics and uses of commonly used plastics is useful and some of these are described in the following
sections.
What NAZ-DAR/KC Can Do For You...
The forgoing information indicates the complexity of the
numerous plastic materials in use today. The average screen
printer cannot be expected to know all their individual properties and for this reason, NAZ DAR/KC’s research and testing facilities are at your service. If in doubt as to the ink to be
used on any plastic material, please send sufficient samples to
us for evaluation, giving us specific information concerning
the finish required (flat or gloss), opacity, drying requirements, screen fabric and mesh number. Our recommendations
for suitable inks will be sent to you together with printed
samples showing how these were prepared in our laboratory.
Our recommendations will naturally be based upon the actual
samples of plastic stocks submitted to us but should in no
way preclude the need to pretest the inks under your own
production conditions and on the actual stock to be used in
production runs.

Commonly Used Plastic Surfaces and Their Characteristics
ABS
Cellulose Acetate Butyrate
A thermoplastic material used for products such as safety helmets, automotive components, refrigerator parts and radio
cases. ABS may be vacuum formed, blow molded, extruded
or calendered and is distinguished by its toughness, chemical
resistance and high gloss. Its name denotes its principal components, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene.
The principal advantage of this thermoplastic material over
Cellulose Acetate is its outdoor weathering resistance and it
is, therefore, used for outdoor signs as well as packaging
materials. Cellulose Acetate Butyrate has, however, a somewhat objectionable odor at close quarters.

Acrylics
Acrylics are in the thermoplastic group and are of great
importance to the screen printer. Acrylics are inherently colorless, but can be produced in a full range of transparent,
translucent and opaque colors. Their clarity and excellent
optical qualities have contributed to acrylics increasing share
in the outdoor sign market. Acrylics are, however, attacked by
a number of commonly used products such as gasoline, cleaning fluids, acetone and strong solutions of oxidizing agents.
Acrylics are produced under many brand names such as
Plexiglas®.
Melamine and Urea
Thermoset plastics available in a wide range of translucent
and opaque colors. They are very hard, scratch resistant and
unaffected by alcohol, oils and grease. They are used as closures in the cosmetic packaging industry as well as in electrical components.

and excellent insulation qualities and can be molded into
rigid shapes with good surface finish. Solvent resistance is
good and they have low water absorption. Phenolics are
opaque and tend to yellow when exposed to actinic light.
Cellulose Acetate
Another thermoplastic noted for its outstanding toughness
and high impact strength, it is widely used in packaging as
well as in toys, book cover laminations, lamp shades and
toothbrush handles. Long exposure to outdoor weathering,
however, is not recommended.

Commonly Used Plastic Surfaces and Their Characteristics
Polycarbonate
Polypropylene (Treated)
Claimed to be the lightest of commercially available thermoplastics, Polypropylene has greater rigidity than Polyethylene,
good surface hardness as well as scratch and abrasion resistance. It has wide uses in the manufacture of housewares,
medicine cups, luggage as well as toothpaste tubes and bottle
caps. Polypropylene requires pretreatment prior to the application of screen printing inks.
Used largely in the manufacture of industrial components.
This group is available in transparent, translucent and opaque
finishes and can be molded, cast or extruded. Polycarbonates
have good resistance to moisture and heat at elevated temperatures and can be easily sterilized. They are now used as food
containers and baby bottles. They are also used for the manufacture of protective headwear, air conditioner housings and
decorative sheeting’s.

Vinyl
Polyethylene (Treated)
These thermoplastics are of particular use to the screen printer and in its most common form Polyethylene is used in the
packaging industry. It is strong, lightweight, highly resistant
to breakage and may be molded, extruded and formed. It is
also readily colored and its widest use is in the cosmetic packaging fields but all kinds of containers (gasoline cans, soft
drink cases) are now produced from polyethylene. It must be
pretreated prior to the application of screen printing inks.
Vinyls are thermoplastic and have made a great impact on the
screen printing industry. Vinyl is available in rigid as well as
in limp form. Its widest use for the screen printer is in the
pressure sensitive field. All Vinyl is, strictly speaking,
Polyvinyl Chloride. The uses of Vinyls are too numerous to
mention but include book covers, decals and signs.

9600 Series, when catalyzed, exhibits adhesion to a diverse
range of substrates including polyesters, some rubber, polycarbonate, melamine plastics, leather and some coated and
uncoated metals. Catalyzing 9600 Series will also reduce its
normal rewetting tendencies when stacking ink to ink or ink
to polyester as well as improve its resistance to solvents and
chemicals.
The pigments used in these inks have been carefully selected
for light fastness. However, this ink system is not recommended for extended outdoor exposure.
Drying: By solvent evaporation. 9600 will air dry in 20 to 40
minutes or may be force dried at temperatures 90°F to 150°F

Thinners: Use straight from the can or reduce with NAZDAR/KC’s RE180 Thinner or RE182 Retarder.
Removal After Etching:
1. Spraying with a 1 to 4% solution of sodium hydroxide will
remove the ink in the tank.
2. When spraying with an 8 to 10% solution of sodium
hydroxide, these inks will merely be softened and may be
removed with a separate water rinse. This method will allow
the alkalis tank to remain relatively free of sludge, so that it
may be used for longer periods before removal.
The sodium hydroxide solution should be maintained at 100
to 120°F (38 to 48°C) although good results have been
obtained at room temperature. It is also recommended that
these resists be removed as soon as possible after etching.

UV Ink Introduction
Screen Printing with Ultraviolet Curable
Inks
In the curing process of screen inks, application of ultraviolet
(UV) energy is recognized as perhaps one of the most important technological advances in recent years. The major advantages of the UV curable systems over the conventional, solvent-based systems are as follows:
Evaluation of UV Inks:
All UV inks produced by NAZ-DAR/KC must pass rigid
quality control tests for printability, color opacity, cure, adhesion and other properties, prior to shipment. However, individual printing technique and UV curing conditions at the
printing shop may differ. Therefore, it is important that the
user determine suitability of the product for it’s intended use
prior to a production run.
1. Rapid Cure: Curing of a coating occurs in seconds as
opposed to minutes or hours as in the case with conventional,
solvent based inks.
2. Conservation of Energy & Space: Energy consuming thermal production lines are replaced by compact UV curing
units which have lower energy requirements for the same
capacity.
The following is a general procedure for this evaluation:
1. Choose the proper screen mesh, stencil and squeegee
durometer. (See application information for each product).
3. Air Pollution Control: Since nearly 100% of the liquid coating is converted to solid, no solvent is discharged into the
atmosphere.
2. Print the ink on the substrate. Screen technique is extremely
important because film thickness will affect cure speed and
final properties of the cured ink film.
4. Cosmetic Improvements: Gloss and appearance are better
than most conventional, solvent based inks.
3. Cure the ink. Due to the large variety of UV processors, the
proper power setting and conveyor belt speed will have to be
determined by testing. NOTE: Most UV inks will “post cure”;
therefore, final properties may not be achieved until after a
short period of time.
5. Screen Stability: UV inks will not dry in the mesh which
reduces costs of labor and solvent used to clean screens after
breaks. Savings will also be realized by not wasting stock that
has poor print quality due to “dried in” inks.
6. Fine Detail Printing: Better appearance of printing high
quality finer detail and improved dot quality in four-color
process (halftone) printing.
4. In order to improve efficiency, the printer should control all
printing and UV curing conditions. This can be achieved by
having a production record for jobs using UV inks. Keeping
records of the printing and curing conditions for various production jobs will provide the following advantages: a. Basis
for learning about UV techniques under actual production
conditions. b. Saving of production time by eliminating
unnecessary duplication for similar jobs.
7. Coverage: Ink mileage is significantly better with UV inks
because finer screen meshes are used.
Basic Features of UV-Curable Technology:
Radically different from that of conventional inks, UV technology is based on principles of photochemistry, polymer
chemistry and physics.
A UV-curable ink contains no volatile solvents and, consequently, no evaporation is required. Instead, the liquid components of the ink are reactive. Application of UV light energy
results in a rapid cross-linking or “curing” reaction.,The finished product is analogous to “thermoset” inks. The major
difference is that the UV-curing reaction uses relatively small
amounts of energy over a much shorter time span. Like the
thermoset inks, the UV-cured, or photoset ink is composed of
relatively insoluble material.
91
Suggestions for Safety and Handling of UV Inks
3200 SERIES UV POINT-OF-SALE
(POS) SCREEN INK
Under normal usage conditions these inks should pose no significant health hazard. NAZ-DAR/KC recommends that the following precautions be observed while emphasizing the role of plant
supervision and management in enforcing these:
3200 Series UV POS Screen Inks have been formulated to meet
the processing speeds of the most modern printing equipment,
while curing at low levels of ultraviolet energy, reducing costs
and substrate heat exposure. These inks will cure to a tough,
glossy finish that will resist blocking in two-sided print applications on rigid plastics.
I) Operators must wear impervious gloves and protective glasses
when working directly with UV inks. Operators working in the
vicinity of UV inks, but not necessarily involved directly, should
also wear protective glasses. Make sure secondary staff, such as
janitors, are fully aware of hazards in handling UV waste material.
3200 Series comes in the complete range of Nazdar colors which
includes; the PANTONE Matching System™ Base Colors, the
Standard Printing Colors, Standard and High Density Halftone
Colors, Single Pigment Toners, and Fluorescent Colors.
2) If an individual comes into contact with a UV curable product,
follow these rules:
a. Immediately flush eyes with copious amount of clear, cool
water. Seek immediate medical attention. Report incident to
plant manager with minimum delay.
b. Immediately wash skin with copious amounts of cool water.
Use soap or other skin cleansing compound (not containing lanolin).
c. NEVER try to remove UV ink from the skin by using solvent
or thinner. Such action is likely to increase the possibility of
undesirable effects.
d. The presence or consumption of food, beverages or smoking
materials should be banned from the work environment.
Operators should wash their hands thoroughly prior to eating,
drinking or smoking to eliminate accidental ingestion of UV curable material.
3200 Series is a one part, 100% solids ultraviolet curable screen
printing ink which exhibits a high gloss finish in all
colors except for the halftone and fluorescent colors which will
have a semi-gloss and satin finish respectively when cured. This
ink is intended to work well straight from the container on a
wide range of printing equipment. 3200 Series does not contain
either N-Vinyl-2-Pyrolidone (V-Pyrol@) or heavy metals.
Substrates:
Styrene, rigid PVC, vinyls, acrylics, some coated papers, and
some coated card stocks.
End Uses:
For Point of Sale applications on a wide range of plastics coated
papers, and coated boards that will be used for indoor and outdoor advertising.
3) Since UV inks do not dry, housekeeping should emphasize the
necessity of cleaning up spills, cleaning of utensils such as measuring equipment, knives, stirrers and so on.
4) UV inks and materials should be used and stored in well-ventilated areas.UV inks should be stored in sealed plastic containers
in a dark, cool environment. NEVER subject a UV ink to exposure of high temperatures or bright light. Any damaged or leaking container should be discarded in compliance with all federal,
state and local regulations for hazardous waste disposal.
Product Application:
Mesh:
355-390 (140 150 cm) monofilament polyester mesh is recommended for most applications.
305-420 (120-165 cm) monofilament polyester can be used for
specialty applications.
5) Ensure that the UV curing processor is in good condition, and
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Especially pay attention to cooling .systems and electrical isolation equipment. Light shields and ventilation equipment. Never
expose a container of UV curable material to light emitted by the
UV curing machine.
Stencil:
Direct emulsions and thin capillary films that are solvent resistant, UV ink compatible, and yield a thin ink deposit will work
best.
6) Ensure that plant operators are fully conversant with and
trained in the use of the equipment and UV inks.
Squeegee
Sharp 7-90 single durometer polyurethane blades as well as
multi-durometer blades that produce an even, thin ink deposit,
will work best.
7) Protect UV inks from any contaminant’s:
a. Keep containers tightly closed.
b. Avoid contamination with any chemical not specified for use
with UV curables by NAZ-DAR/KC. Especially beware strong
acids and metals, and their salts.
c. Protect UV ink from contamination by solvent inks.
Coverage:
2500 3800 sq. ft per gallon depending upon ink deposit.
Reducer
Use RE302 UV Reducer to reduce the viscosity of these inks by
adding no more than 10% by weight. It is recommended that
these inks be thoroughly mixed, and acclimated to a 65°- 80°F
(18°- 27°C) environment prior to reducing.
8) Consult Material Safety Data Sheet for more specific information about each product.
92
3200 Series UV Point-of-Sale (POS) Screen Ink
Printing:
Product Range:
3200 Series POS Inks are formulated to print from the container
with excellent flow characteristics. Inks will maintain optimum
print and cure performance when the ink temperature is
70°- 90°F (21°- 32°C). Temperatures below 70°F (21°C) will
increase the ink viscosity, impairing both flow and cure.
Elevated temperatures will lower the ink viscosity, reducing
print definition, film thickness, and opacity. When the ink is
cold, it is best to mix the ink with a high-speed mixer until it
returns to the proper temperature, 70°-90°F (21°-32°C). Add
reducer at this point if necessary.
All of the following colors are available in quart and gallon
containers. Those marked with an *are also available in 5
gallon containers
Cure Parameters:
3200 Series POS Inks are formulated to cure when exposed to
a medium pressure mercury vapor lamp set at 200 watts per
inch at a belt speed of 70-100 ft/mm.
The most accurate means of determining the ultraviolet energy output of specific equipment is to measure the light output
with a radiometer. For printers using radiometers and/or
using equipment where ultraviolet dosage is determined by
means other than a belt speed, contact your Nazdar Technical
Representative for suggested levels of ultraviolet energy
exposure required to cure the 3200 Series Inks on specific
equipment.
These High Performance Inks can be affected by stray UV
light in and around a printing facility resulting in the appearance of an ink drying in the screen during the course of a long
run. Be aware of skylights, windows, and overhead lights
possibly curing the ink in the screen. Precautions include the
use of light filters that block out the damaging wavelengths.
Mixing Clear:
3226 Mixing Clear is used to reduce the density of colors, or
as a clear base for metallic powders.
Nazdar SI4001 UV Satin Paste can be added to 3200 Series Ink
to prevent blocking on highly plasticized substrates and card
stocks. Add 10% by weight. Do not exceed 20%. This will help
to eliminate the possibility of blocking when stacking and
storing, or shipping prints that will have ink to ink contact.
The SI4001 UV Satin Paste should be power mixed into the
3200 Series.
Nazdar NB 80 is recommended to be added at a level of 5%
by weight in the 3200 Series Inks to further enhance adhesion
on rigid high density polyethylene, treated fluted polypropylene substrates and some coated metals. Improved adhesion
will not be demonstrated for 24 hours, with full cross Iinking
in 4-7 days. This ink will have a 4-8 hour pot life.

completely aqueous system, AquaPrint is lead free, heavymetal free, conforms to anti-pollution standards; and this
highly economical water-base ink boasts a color range as
broad as any in the industry.
The AquaPrint line of screen printing inks consists of two separate systems designed to provide the widest color range coupled with the softest hand available in water-based textile
inks: AquaPrint 9500 Ready For Use (RFU) and AquaPrint II
8500 Super Pigment Concentrate.
The AquaPrint 9500 R.F.U. color system is designed for volume printing on light colored textile and offering easy and
accurate color mixing, AquaPrint RFU is ideal for screen
printing operations that count on identical, consistent color
for repeat and on going projects. With the addition of an RFU
extender base, the depth of AquaPrint shades can be altered
and the product extended to create an unsurpassed variety of
high performance colors.
The AquaPrint II 8500 Super Pigment Concentrate system is
designed for high quality economical printing, suitable for a
variety of textile substrates. These exceptionally strong pigments can be extended by a virtually unlimited amount of
extender, making the system one of the most economical in
the industry. AquaPrint pigment concentrate is highly recommended for cost conscious, high production shops like towel,
cut-piece fashion, T-shirt, and belt printers; over dryers, tie
dryers and rotary houses.
The AquaPrint system is suitable for a wide variety of textile
substrates white and light in color, including cotton,
cotton/polyester blends, linen, polyester, rayon, acetate and
other synthetic fabrics.
Printed fabrics must be heat cured at a temperature of 300
degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 3 minutes to attain
maximum wash fastness and dry cleaning resistance. The
drying system should have sufficient air flow to first remove
the moisture and secondly have adequate heat capacity to
attain the required surface temperature on the prints, and
thereby cure the ink.
Wash up is a snap. Screens and all related equipment can be
easily cleaned with water. If partial drying occurs, use soapy,
ammoniated water for the most effective cleaning.

AQ Series Guidelines
T-Shirts
Fine Garments
When printing T-shirts, Standard AQ51 prepared extender
base is normally used with the 8500 pigment concentrate or to
extend the 9500 RFU Series. When using darker shades, such
as black or navy blue, the use of AQ52 Low Crock (5-10%)
may be added to prevent crocking (rub off).
Fine garments denote a more delicate type fabric, such as
rayon or acetates which sell to the fashion retail market. They
are not the typical “T-shirt”. The most important factors in
printing on fine garments are: softness of hand, wash fastness,
and non-crocking. Since fine garments are usually softer and
thinner than T-shirts, it is important to apply thinner laydowns of ink. Some garments could have finishes which
cause “wicking” or spreading of the print. The use of AQ57
Anti-wick is recommended as a solution. Since crocking is an
important factor, the use of AQ52 Low Crock and AQ55
Softener is recommended when needed.
Depending on the composition of the T-shirt, different additives may be used. The weight or thickness of the T-shirt must
also be considered. Lower screen meshes (60-110) are normally used in order to deposit a good lay-down of ink. If the shirt
is lightweight, 50/50 cotton/polyester, or 100% polyester, the
additives may only encompass AQ52 Low Crock. The thinner
the ink lay-down, or the less Low Crock used, the softer the
hand. AQ55 softener can be used in conjunction with AQ51
Low Crock in order to keep the hand soft.
Miscellaneous
AQ54 AquaLube is used as a retarder in order to keep the
screen open during production. It is universally used for
printing on any type of textile product.
AQ53 Thickener is used to thicken prepared colors to desired
printing viscosities.
Towels
The thickness (plushness) of the towel, whether it is dosed
loop or sheared, and its composition will determine the additives used. A printed towel must be soft and the use of AQ55
softener is recommended. The heavier and plusher the towel,
the less softener is needed. The use of AQ56 Penetrant is also
determined by the weight of the towel—more AQ56 is used
with heavier, thicker towels, so that the ink will penetrate the
fabric. Closed loop towels are harder to penetrate than
sheared towels. AQ52 Low Crock could increase the harshness of the hand so AQ56 softener should be used in order to
keep the towel soft. Drying towels requires longer dwell time
in the oven. Maintain good air flow for quicker drying.

Product Information
One part, press ready, high opaque water-base whites.
Aquapaque, a premium, heavy bodied R.F.U. white, produces
the highest brilliance & stretchability for printing on to the
darkest colored textiles. When printing onto dark garments,
printed color sequence should be from dark to light, so whenever possible print Aquapaque in the last station, to give optimum effect. Aquatique, not quite as flexible or opaque as
Aquapaque but far more economical to use.
Both whites can be blended with AquaPrint II 8500 pigments
(max. 10%) to create high covering opaque prints and still
exhibit good crock fastness and wash fastness.
Fabrics: When using Aquapaque and Aquatique for their
optimum brightness and opacity, mesh counts of 76T-86T
monofilament polyester have proven to be the best. Avoid silk
and nylon mesh which are water sensitive. As always when
attempting to produce high opaque prints, mesh tension
should be as high as possible. With higher tensions, off-contact distance can be reduced, thus, permitting lower squeegee
pressure. in turn allowing greater control of printing variables, including ink deposit and print registration.
Squeegees: Square edged 60-80 durometer, round edged 65
durometer.
Stencil: Water resistant direct emulsion or capillary film.
Nazdasol X-Tra dual-cure emulsion recommended.
Coverage: 500 square feet per gallon.
Opacity: Opaque Aquapaque and Aquatique are suitable for
printing onto dark grounds.
Print Technique: Single print/single flood.
NOTE: Keep screens flooded. Helpful hint, when using
Aquapaque and Aquatique for their optimum brightness and
opacity, the use of a soft platen can be a benefit, as it is more
forgiving in high opaque printing. This soft surface will not
let the printing pressure force the ink through the textile the
platen compresses and keeps the ink on the surface of the garment.

application used for highlighting a certain part of a design
and are printed in the last screen/ station, then there exists
absolutely no application problems. However, if more than
one mica-metallic is used in a multi-color print, then intermediate flashing maybe necessary. Obviously, the design and the
size of the area being printed will greatly affect the printing
technique.
Finally, as with all water-based inks, keep screens
flooded. Utilize print/flood as opposed to flood/print.

AquaPrint Additives
AQ50 Opaque Base
8550 Clear Concentrate
For high intensity opaque colors, AQ50 Opaque Base blended
in a ratio of 85% AQ50 Opaque Base to 15% AquaPrint II 8500
Series Super Pigment concentrate will provide strong, vibrant
colors on dark ground substrates while still maintaining a soft
hand.
This is the basic clear concentrate for mixing with water and
AQ52 low crock to provide the finished AQ51; and as such is
used to regulate the viscosity of the system. High speed mixing equipment is required to use this product.
AQ51 Prepared Extender Base
To be used with 8500 Super Pigment Concentrate at a maximum ratio of 5% pigment concentrate to 95% AQ5 1. Other
major use is to attend the vibrant 9500 R.F.U. colors and so
achieve lighter pastel shades.
AQ52 Low Crock
This product is the binder, that when mixed with water and
our clear concentrate, produces the extender base AQ51.
Levels up to 5% can be added to our 9500 “ready for use" inks
in instances when additional binder may be needed, such as
with greater than normal pigment content.
AQ53 Thickener
A liquid that will increase the viscosity of prepared colors.
Add at 0.5% increments to desired thickness.
AQ54 AquaLube
A retardant gel that slows down the evaporation rate of water,
and hence prevents drying in the screen. Add at levels of 510%, without the fear of limiting pot life or of jelling of the
ink.
AQ55 Softener
A product that will impart a silky, soft feel to the print. Add at
a level of 2-5% when printing terry towels.
AQ56 Penetrant
A product that simply aids penetration. Add to prepared inks
at a Level of 2-5%: it works extremely well on “difficult to
print” cloth, such as looped and sheared terry cloth towels.
AQ57 Antiwick
Used to prevent wicking on certain fabrics which may have
surface treatments. Add at 0.5% increments up to a total
MAXIMUM of 2%.
AQ58
This AZIRIDINE FREE room temp catalyst, when used at a
level of 3-5% enables air dried prints to achieve their necessary fastness levels. The curing process will only start to take
place once the prints are actually dry, so to speed up operations, print may be conveyor dried at approximately 250°F.
The use of this product is ideally suited for print shops that
may not have ovens with sufficient air flow in their heating
chamber, or for those shops, who by speeding up their belt
speed, seek to increase production. Naturally, energy costs
can be significantly reduced when using this product. The
ink/catalyst mixture has a normal shelf life of 8 hours. Do not
use the mixture after that period.

Multipurpose Series Plastisol
GENERAL INFORMATION
MODIFYING INK
A 100% solids plastisol ink formulated for use in many applications. Over forty standard colors, including 15 premixed
metallics and glitter inks. The ink can be used for direct printing, cold peel transfers, hot peel transfers (with the addition
of 500 Quick-Trans Additive) and as a flock adhesive. A litho
backing white is also available in this series of inks.
If reduction in viscosity is needed, use 3% to 20% 1110LF
Curable Reducer. A mixture of 1 part 710 LF Softhand
Additive to 4 parts 1110LF Curable Reducer, added in the
same proportion as 1110LF, will result in a product that will
reduce, soften, and de-tackify plastisol inks for wet on wet
printing. Adding too much reducer and/or additive will
reduce
opacity of inks.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Cotton, polyester and cotton/polyester blends. Always test
print fabric before a production run for adhesion and possible
dye migration problems.
TRANSFER APPLICATION
Cold peel transfers: 10 to 15 seconds @350°F to 375°F (177°C
to 191°C). Medium pressure (40lbs.)
INK APPLICATION
The Multipurpose series inks can be printed directly from the
container without any modifications. If thinning is desired for
special applications, use 1110LF Curable Reducer for best
results. Multipurpose plastisols are not low blood inks. Testing is
required for blood resistance on cotton/polyester blends and 100%
polyester.
Hot peel transfers: 3 to 7 seconds @ 375°F to 400°F (177°C to
204°C). Medium to heavy pressure (40lbs. to 60lbs.)
DRYER TEMPERATURES
Direct Prints: 300°F to 325°F (149°C to 163°C)
Transfers: Gelation 225°F to 260°F (82°C to 127°C).
Since the Multipurpose series inks do not air dry, they must
be fused with an appropriate heat source in order to achieve
durability. The optimum time/temperature cycle will vary
with the amount of ink deposited, fabric, and type of heat
source used. Plastisols actually achieve the proper fusion
point as soon as the innermost section of the ink film reaches
the prescribed temperature. Test drier temperatures before a
production run. Wash test printed product before production
run.
Direct Prints: For softer feeling direct prints, add 5% to 40%
710LF Softhand Additive to the ink. Reducing the ink with
1110LF Curable Reducer and using finer meshes can also
greatly improve the softness of the finished print.
Transfers (Cold Peal): When printing Multipurpose plastisols on cold peel release paper, it is important that the inks
are only partially gelled or fused, otherwise the inks will not
have adequate adhesion during the final transfer application.
The gelation temperature for Multipurpose plastisols is 225°F
to 260°F (82°C to 127°C).
CLEAN-UP
Mineral Spirits (White Spirits) or Plastisol Screen Wash
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Transfers (Hot Peal): To make hot peel transfers with the
Multipurpose plastisols, the inks must be mixed with 500
Quick-Trans Additive and printed on a hot peel release paper.
Gelation temperatures are the same as with cold peel transfers
above. This procedure is not recommended for the glitter inks
or metallic inks.

711LF Lo-Bleed HP White
GENERAL INFORMATION
SPOT FLASHING
711LF* LB** is a low fusing, fast flashing, low tack, high pigment white plastisol screen printing ink. With a very creamy
viscosity, the ink is very easy to print. This results in a lot less
pressure needed to print the ink through the screen. A truly
white white, without any objectionable odor. The ink contains
no bleaching agents and is superior in performance to other
low bleed inks.
This product will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack, in
2 to 8 seconds depending 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 just be dry to the touch,
with no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing the underprint white may cause inner coat adhesion problems with the
inks printed on top of the white ink. Final fusing or curing
will occur in the dryer.

INK APPLICATION
711 LF LB HP White should be used right from the container
without any modifications. If thinning is needed, use 3% to
20% by volume, 799LF Lo-bleed Curable Reducer. To maintain best opacity when reducing 711LF, use 1% to 10% by volume of 1099LF LB Curable Lo-Bleed Reducer. Using other
reducers or additives may lower the bleed resistance and/or
opacity of the ink. Adding too much reducer will cause loss of
opacity.
60-230 monofilament.
Any direct or indirect lacquer proof emulsion.
Use 35 to 70 micron capillary film for best results.
110 -160 monofilament for under printing.
1. 711LF LB HP White is a low bleed ink, not a non-bleed ink.
On some types of fabric, bleeding or dye migration may
occur. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning production. It is best to do some long term testing on
some fabrics to determine if they are going to bleed. Bleeding
or dye migration may not occur right away.
Excessive squeegee pressure, when using 711LF LB HP White,
will drive the ink through the fabric, making the ink look less
opaque. Adding too much reducer will also cause loss of
opacity.
3. 711LF LB HP White was formulated to make printing
opaque white easy. This technology helps to make hand printing less tiring, because less squeegee pressure is needed,
which improves operator performance. It also allows automatic equipment settings to be at lower pressure settings,
thus improving screen life and squeegee durability.

4. 711LF LB HP White, compared to other opaque whites,
prints so easily you will find that a finer screen mesh can be
used for the same opacity as a more open mesh. This means
less ink will be used, a real money saver in terms of ink
usage. It also means a softer hand on flashed fabrics.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Since 711LF LB HP White plastisol does not air dry, the ink
must be fused or gelled with an appropriate heat source. The
optimum time/temperature cycle will vary with the amount
of ink deposited, fabric, and the type of heat source used.
Plastisols actually achieve the proper fusion point as soon as
the innermost section of the ink film reaches the prescribed
temperature. Test dryer temperatures before a production run.

600LF Series Puff Plastisol
GENERAL INFORMATION
PUFF PADS
600LF. Series is a direct print plastisol puff ink. These inks are
very creamy and easy to print. All colors have excellent opacity on dark fabrics. 600LF Puff is easy to use and results in a
durable, raised ink film when fused at the proper temperature.
International Coatings has developed a 1/4 inch thick, soft
rubber pad (30 to 35 durometer), that can be used when printing puff inks onto fabric. The puff pad will help to lay the
puff ink on the surface of the garment, which promotes a
more even loft. Puff ink will expand in all directions, so if
there is a greater amount of ink in the fabric and less on top,
the ink will expand down and not up. The pad can also aid in
printing light ink colors on dark garments, this will help with
color brightness and also use less ink in the process. The puff
pads are manufactured so the printers can cut them to fit their
pallets. To apply the pad to a pallet, spray the surface of the
pallet and the back of the pad with table adhesive. Then align
the pad with the pallet and press the two evenly together.
Run tape around the edges of the pallet and pad when done.
The pad can be used when spot flashing and can be cleaned
with a mild solvent.
*LF (Lead Free) Contains less than .025% lead.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Polyester, Cotton/Polyester blends and Cotton.
INK APPLICATION
The 600LF direct print puff should be used right from the container without any modifications. To achieve a high consistent
puff, use a soft pallet (refer to puff pads in this product bulletin) with reduced pressure on the squeegee. If printing the
puff in a multicolored design, print the puff last or spot dry
before the next color.

700 Series Direct Print Plastisol
GENERAL INFORMATION
LO-BLEED INK (LB)
International Coatings has developed for the screen printing
industry, a plastisol ink system designed with a selection of
HP (High Pigment) colors for dark fabrics, standard colors for
light fabrics and a softhand additive that can be mixed with
the ink to soften the feel of the print. The ink was specifically
formulated to help reduce ink build up on multi-color printing jobs. Economically priced, this ink is at its best on automated equipment although excellent results can be achieved
in almost any printing operation.
Inks designated LB (lo-bleed) are resistant to dye migration or
bleeding on polyester and polyester blend fabrics. On some
problem fabrics bleeding or dye migration may occur. Always
test print the fabric before beginning production. It is best to
do some long term testing on some fabrics to determine if this
problem exists. Bleeding or migration of the dye from the garment or fabric into the ink film may not occur right away.
CLEAN-UP
Mineral Spirits (White Spirits) or Plastisol screen wash.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
COLORS AVAILABLE:
Cotton, Polyester and Cotton/Polyester blends. Always test
print fabric before a production run.
INK APPLICATION
The 700 series inks can be printed right out of the containers
without any modifications. If thinning is desired for special
applications, use 1110LF Curable Reducer for best results.
For softer feeling prints, add 20% to 40% 710LF Softhand
Additive to the ink. Reducing the ink with 1110LF Curable
Reducer and using finer screen meshes can also greatly
improve the softness-of the finish print.
Standard colors: 110 to 305 Monofilament.
High Pigment colors: 61 to 110 Monofilament.
Use 20 to 30 micron capillary film for light colored fabrics and
35 to 70 micron film for dark fabrics.

Plastisol Ink Additives & Reducers
ADDITIVES
500LF Quick-Trans Additive
REDUCERS
Add 500LF Quick-Trans to Multipurpose or 700 Series plastisols to convert those inks to hot split or hot peel transfer inks.
The recommended ratios are: By volume, 1 part additive to 3
parts ink. By weight, 1 part additive to 4 parts ink.
Thoroughly mix the additive into the ink. The addition of
more additive than prescribed will increase the ease of transfer release after heat sealing. Excessive amounts of additive
will reduce the opacity of the mixed ink. Shelf life of mixed
ink is indefinite when stored in a cool area. For more detailed
information on this product, see product bulletin 500LF
Quick-Trans Additive.
1099LF will lower the viscosity of opaque, standard opacity and low
bleed inks without affecting the bleed resistance or fusing characteristics of the ink being mixed. This additive is especially formulated to
help maintain the opacity of high pigment (HP) inks when being
reduced.
710LF Soft Hand Additive
Add 710LF to Multipurpose, 700 Series, and 1100 Series inks
to soften the feel or hand of printed inks. The percentage
needed to soften the ink will depend on the ink to be adjusted. High pigment (HP) inks usually need more 710LF than a
standard or process ink.
The recommended proportion of 710LF is 5% to a maximum
of 40% by volume. This product can lower the bleed resistance and/or opacity of the ink being mixed.
Added in the above percentages, a mixture of 1 part 710LF to
4 parts 1110LF Curable Reducer, will result in a product that
will reduce, soften, and de-tackify plastisol inks for wet on
wet printing.
1099LF CURABLE LO-BLEED REDUCER
When adding reducers to opaque inks, use a minimal amount of
reducer to help maintain opacity. The recommended proportion of
1099LF is 1% to 10% by volume.
1110LF CURABLE REDUCER
1110LF lowers the viscosity of plastisols without affecting the fusing
characteristics of the ink being mixed. 1110LF is also a curable reducer, which means it fuses or cures by itself with the application of heat.
A curable reducer means no risk of adding too much reducer other
than a reduction in opacity and viscosity if over done. The recommended proportion of 1110LF is 5% to 25% by volume.
This reducer should not be used in low blood inks as It can lower the bleed
resistance of those inks.
1110LF can aid in reducing ink build-up on the back of successive
screens when printing wet on wet. The amount of 1110LF needed to
reduce build-up will depend on the ink being adjusted. 5% to 10%
1110LF for opaque inks. 1% to 5% 1110LF for standard opacity inks.
The correct screen mesh, such as 160 to 230 monofilament, properly
tensioned, will also help to reduce ink build-up.
1199LF Stretch Ink Additive
1199LF can be easily mixed into Multipurpose, 700 Series, or
1100 Series plastisols to produce increased elongation of those
inks for Lycra, Spandex and other stretch fabric applications.
LBX VISCOSITY MODIFIER
The recommended ratios are: By volume, 2 parts ink to 1 part
additive. By weight, 3 parts ink to 1 part additive. For opaque
inks, mixing by weight is highly recommended.
LBX is a non-curable reducer, which if used on excess, will cause fusing or curing problems. The reducer should not be used in low bleed
inks as it will greatly lower the blood resistance of those inks.
1199LF is not a low bleed product.
Proper testing must be done for dye migration or bleeding.
Adding the additive to a low bleed ink does not guarantee
bleed resistance. Always test ink and fabric before and production run. For more detailed information on this product,
see product bulletin 1199LF Stretch Additive.
The use of a curable reducer is highly recommended general use
when adjusting the viscosity of plastisol inks.
All products listed have been tested with International
Coating’s inks. If these products are used with another manufacturer’s products, proper testing must be done to insure the
performance and and durability of the mixed ink.
LF (lead free) contains less than .025% lead
LBX is a liquid plasticizer used for reducing plastisol inks. The recommended proportion is 1% to 5% by volume.

Stencil Fabric Yarn Classification
Discussion: Screen materials may be divided into
fabric and wire meshes and the fabrics may be further classified by origin (natural or synthetic fibers)
and structure (monofilament or multifilament). Silk is
the only natural fiber used; nylon and polyester are
the predominant synthetics. As the name implies a
monofilament fiber consists of a single strand
(thread), while a multifilament fiber has several
MONOFILAMENT - MULTIFILAMENT
strands twisted together into a thread (see illustration).Monofilament fabrics have several advantages
for screen printing: high stability and abrasion
resistance; regular mesh structure; even, easy ink
passage; easy cleaning and full screen reclaimability for multiple re-use.
MONOFILAMENT VS. MULTIFILAMENT
Where to Use Multifilament Fabrics
Use of silk or multifilament polyester can be justified If:
1. Your need for wear resistance is not great (screens are destroyed after very short run).
2. You store screens in inventory on the off chance you may get a reorder. (Here you are storing cheaper dollars).
3. You do not require fine detail or precise Ink deposits.
Advantages of Monofilament over Multifilament
1. Far superior resistance to wear (abrasion).
2. Relationship of thread diameters to open area In monofilament allows choice of higher mesh counts for greater detail with
no loss in paint flow.
3. Ink residues accumulate In twists of multifilament fibers causing progressive thread swelling which In turn causes variations
in color deposit.
4. Monofilament fabrics are easier to clean and reclaim.
5. Monofilament fabrics allow greater control over Ink deposits through choice of thread diameters.
Conclusion
If you re-cycle your screens or expect a screen to deliver very long runs, and/or fine detail, Investigate monofilament fabrics.
Today’s quality monofilaments yield so many Impressions that your original cost will disappear.
PREPARATION OF STENCIL FABRICS
It is of utmost Importance that all types of stencil fabric be properly stretched on the screen frame. This cannot be over emphasized and Is a decisive factor In high quality production. Fabrics must be stretched to full tension. Insufficient stretching causes
many printing and stencil difficulties, such as poor register, poorly defined smeared contours, poor release In off-contact printing, reduced stencil durability and undesirable stencil patterns.
Conscientious cleaning of stencil fabric is as Important as proper stretching, In screen preparation. Screen fabrics should be
cleaned Immediately before use. Cleaned screens that have been standing for long periods, become soiled and must be cleaned
again before use.
Insufficient cleaning of fabrics is the main cause of pinholes or faulty stencil areas, limited stencil life and poor adhesion of
Indirect and direct photo stencil films.

Impact of Screen Tension on Print Quality
The Importance of Screen Tension
Determining Optimum Tension
Screen tension is a most important consideration because it
affects print quality in three crucial areas: 1. Register; 2. Print
Definition; and, 3. Volume and Uniformity of Ink Deposit.
Until recently, the most widely used methods for determining
screen tension were (a) feel (attained through experience); (b)
measurement of the percentage of fabric elongation; and (c) measurement of a defined tensile force such as that indicated by the
air regulator gauge of a pneumatic tensioning device. None of
these systems are consistent or scientific.
1. Register
Screen fabrics have a reserve of resiliency which allows the
stretched screen to return to its prestroke dimension and tension
after being repeatedly subjected to the stress forces of squeegee
pressure and off-contact during the printing stroke. Screens tensioned to optimum resiliency will permit continuous repetition of
this action within the limits of dimensional change needed for
acceptable register.
Over-tensioned screens will not have sufficient resiliency reserve
to achieve this. The stress imposed by the printing stroke causes
the mesh to either rupture or elongate (flow) to a state of deformation from which it cannot return; only elongate more.
To overcome these shortcomings, electronic and mechanical
instruments have been developed to measure screen tension precisely. Using the scientific principle of deflection, these instruments measure screen tension at any given location on the screen
surface. Regardless of screen size or type of fabric, tension is
expressed in newtons per centimeter. Normally, readings are
taken at five points on the screen; dead center and halfway
between dead center and each corner.
Under-tensioned screens never reach the level of tautness
required for optimum resiliency and memory. The mesh extends
and contracts erratically during succession of squeegee strokes
thus undoing register.
2. Print Edge Definition
Improper screen tension (slackness caused by either over or
under-tension) causes the fabric to roll ahead of the squeegee
during the printing stroke. Although imperceptible to the naked
eye, this phenomena can cause ink smears, mesh marks and line
distortions.
3. Ink Release
Screen tension affects snap force which, in turn, affects the volume and uniformity of ink discharge. Insufficient screen tension
reduces and delays snap during off-contact printing thus preventing the uniform release of ink. An improperly tensioned
screen may prevent even flood coating and cause an excessive
amount of ink to be loaded into mesh openings.
With a suitable tension measuring instrument, it is possible to
read fabric tension independently in both warp and weft directions. A tension measuring device is vital not only because it
allows the screenmaker to determine repeatable and optimum
tension values, but also because it makes it possible to determine
highs and lows of tension within a screen so that appropriate
measures can be taken to balance the overall tension level.
Mechanical vs Electronic devices
Tests show that both types of devices can perform the same function and produce results with comparable accuracy. Because
almost all technical data pertaining to tension expresses tension
values in newtons per centimeter (N/cm), it is helpful (if not critical), that the instrument used also express tension values in
N/cm rather than some non-related numeric basis.
Suitable electronic devices are much more costly than mechanical
instruments. It may be difficult to justify the additional expenditure for the electronic device particularly since it is more delicate,
more costly to repair and susceptible to inaccuracies caused by
magnetic field interference. At less than half the cost, you could
purchase two mechanical instruments; one for use in the screenmaking area and the second in the screen reclaiming area to
determine whether a screen should be re-inventoried or restretched.
116
Impact of Screen Tension on Print Quality
OPTIMUM TENSION VALUES
SPECIAL FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS
It is important to remember that different screen printing applications can tolerate varying degrees of nonconformity to tension
uniformity within a screen and from screen to screen. For example, the tension within a screen and from screen to screen should
be no more than + 5N/cm from the determined optimum tension
value when screen printing ceramics, decal’s, electronic circuits,
multicolor illustrations and fine line halftones. The ability of a
screen to function continuously within this tolerance requires the
use of control oriented components and firm adherence to a disciplined procedure geared more to quality than to production.
For P.C. soldermask applications and legend printing single color
halftones, normal poster work and multicolor textile printing,
tension within a screen and from screen to screen should vary no
more than + N/cm from the optimum tension value. For noncritical poster and textile applications, such as T-shirts, the tolerance can be relaxed to 1 2.5 N/cm within a screen and from
screen to screen.
Screens having Internal tension variations greater than + 3 N/cm
should be considered beyond the tolerance necessary for acceptable reproduction In just about any screen printing application.
Even if stretched optimally, this fabric will gradually lose tension. This is due to the “cold flow” characteristics of plastics
which causes them to gradually acclimate and accept elongation
stress. Diagram 1 Illustrates “cold flow” by showing the low of
tension In a monofilament polyester that has been stored for one
week Note too that, contrary to the widely held belief that polyester should be stretched dry, our tests Indicate that an Identical
screen stretched wet lost tension at a much slower and more
even rate.
By being aware of “cold flow”, the quality conscious screen
printer can monitor screen tension throughout the life cycle of a
screen. In Inventory, on the press after recycling. Screens with
less than acceptable tension should be re-tensioned, re-stretched
with new mesh or used for less critical applications
When tensioning monofilament polyester, only exactly repeatable procedures can produce Identical results. All screens for a
particular application should be tensioned slowly, In set
Increments, with set rest periods, etc.

How to Make a Direct Emulsion Stencil
All fabric, new or used, must be degreased. We consider this
the first step in making a good stencil. In addition, synthetic
fabric should be roughened mechanically to improve printing
run length. Make sure that the fabric is thoroughly dry before
coating it with emulsion.
Many types of problem-causing contaminants are not visible to
the naked eye: petroleum residues from inks or washup solvents,
fabric weaving oils on new fabric. perspiration or oils from the
skin, air-borne dirt, dust, etc. Degreasing greatly reduces the risk
of stencil making failure, extends on-press stencil longevity, and
alleviates pinholing.
Select fabric appropriate for the printing application, and stretch
it properly.
• Fabric Selection:
The fabrics used in screen printing are silk, nylon, monofilament
and multifilament polyester, metal mesh, and metalized polyester. The characteristics of each fabric type, obtainable from the
fabric supplier or manufacturer, should match the needs of the
printing job. Beyond that, in selecting a screen fabric, you’ll want
to consider:
Thread diameter and percentage of open area:
These (along with mesh count) are the most important determinants of the thickness of ink deposit. Stencil thickness, type of
ink, and type and printing adjustments of the squeegee, are secondary factors in determining the thickness of the ink deposit.
Mesh count: Expressed as the number of threads per linear
inch or centimeter, mesh count affects print resolution (the
amount of detail) and definition (sharpness). Higher mesh
counts improve resolution and definition, lessen the amount of
emulsion needed for a given coating method, and reduce exposure time. (Remember that finer fabric will reduce your ink
deposit - so be sure that your ink provides adequate coverage.)
Halftone work: Multiply the halftone count by at least 4 to
determine the proper mesh count. For example, for a 60-line
halftone (English system): 60 x 4 = 240. Therefore, the mesh
count of the fabric should be at least 240 threads per inch.
Fine line work: The diameter of a single fabric thread should
be no more than half of the finest line detail - positive or negative - to be printed.
Mesh Color: Dyed fabric improves fine detail reproduction.
The dye reduces light scattering, helping to keep extremely fine
details open. However, if you switch from white to colored fabric, you will have to increase exposure by at least 50%.
• Proper Fabric Tensioning:
Uneven tension can cause uneven emulsion distribution, and
hence poor image reproduction and print quality. Inconsistent
stretching from one screen to the next makes multicolor registration difficult and, sometimes, impossible. Each type of fabric and within each type, each mesh count and thread diameter -
Dissolve the Diazo Sensitizer:
Add lukewarm water up to the shoulder of the lightsafe sensitizer bottle containing the diazo. Shake well. If your emulsion uses
diazo powder, wait 15 minutes to allow the air bubbles to disperse.
• Make sure the diazo powder is completely dissolved. Check
the sensitizer bottle’s white cap liner for undissolved diazo particles before adding the sensitizer to the emulsion.
• For coarse fabric and other uses where a thicker, more viscous
emulsion is needed, mix the diazo with less water (never less
than half full into the sensitizer bottle). Note the increase in
exposure time.
• For applications requiring a thinner stencil, dilute the emulsion. Add the normally diluted sensitizer to the emulsion. Then
add one additional diazo bottle of lukewarm water into the sensitized emulsion and mix thoroughly. This results in a 10% dilution. Note the decrease in exposure time.
Mix the Dissolved Sensitizer into the Emulsion:
Pour the full contents of the dissolved sensitizer into the emulsion and stir with a clean, broad, flat instrument made of plastic
or stainless steel until the emulsion is uniform in color. If you are
using a clear emulsion, you can add the color at this point, and
mix thoroughly until the color is uniform.
• Do not use stirrers made of wood, copper, or iron. An electric
mixer with a stainless steel mixing blade is ideal.
• Be sure to scrape the stirrer across the sides and bottom of the
emulsion container, so that all the emulsion is mixed with the
sensitizer.
Close the Container. Wait at Least One Hour:
The sensitized emulsion must be “debubbled” in order to avoid
streaks in the coating and poor printing results.
Write the Date of Sensitizing on the Label:
Diazo sensitized emulsion can be stored 4 weeks at normal room
temperatures-up to 3 months in a refrigerator.
A screenholder provides more consistency in
coating screens:
• A screenholder holds the screen at a comfortable height and
uniform angle, prevents the screen from sliding, and allows you
to concentrate on coating smoothly.
The objective in coating a direct emulsion screen is to fill the
entire mesh opening and to encapsulate the threads. Use a
scoop coater or coating trough to apply the emulsion with slow,
smooth strokes, forcing the thick liquid into the mesh, not simply scraping it across the fabric. Remove excess emulsion at
both edges of the trough stroke.

How to Make a Direct Emulsion Stencil
Direct emulsion coating requires skill to produce uniform,
pinhole-free stencils. Important variables are: the mesh count,
the thread diameter and color of the fabric, the tension and
cleanliness of the fabric, the solids content and temperature of
the emulsion, the thickness of the coating blade, the pressure
of the tool against the screen, and the angle and speed of the
coating blade across the fabric.
The three coating
methods
Resulting stencils
in cross-section
1
Apply one coat of emulsion on printing side, then one coat on
squeegee side. Dry emulsion with screen in any position. Note
relatively thin emulsion shoulder, and thinness of stencil and
ink deposit.
2
Coat twice on printing side, then one to five times on
squeegee side, wet on wet. After each coat, rotate screen 180˚.
Then dry with screen in horizontal position, printing side
down. Note that emulsion shoulder, stencil, and ink deposit
are thicker.
3
Use Method 2 above. Then, after complete horizontal drying,
add an additional coat of emulsion on printing side, and dry
again. This produces sharpest edge, and thickest stencil and
ink deposit. Additional single coatings on printing side –
with intermediate dryings – improve printed edge sharpness
even more.
Fine reproduction requires both edge sharpness and
resolution:
• Increasing the amount of emulsion on the printing side
improves sharpness, but resolution may suffer; conversely,
reduced coatings can improve resolution, but edge sharpness
may suffer. Where possible, use of a finer mesh, dyed fabric,
and Method 3 will all improve both sharpness and resolution.
• Use positives of good quality, check vacuum contact, and
evaluate exposures with a step wedge test each time you
introduce a variable.
Coarse mesh:
• Emulsions used on very coarse mesh should be properly
selected and sensitized to have a high viscosity, high solids
content, or both. We recommend filling the sensitizer bottle
only half full with water.
• The coater must have a thick blade and the coating stroke
must be even slower than usual.
• The coating method should ensure that the large mesh
openings are completely filled with emulsion. We recommend
coating the screen wet on wet, once on each side. Dry thoroughly. If additional coats are needed, the initial coating
should be followed immediately by a “smoothing” coat on
the printing side: tilt the coater back so no additional emulsion is introduced onto the screen. Move the blade up the
printing side to gather excess emulsion. Dry thoroughly.
Repeat single coatings, with intermediate dryings, on the
printing side only.
• Just as coarse mesh holds more ink than fine mesh, it holds
more emulsion with a given coating method. Be careful to
increase drying and exposure times accordingly.
To ensure dimensional stability, and create the sharpest
prints, dry the screen In a horizontal position, printing side
down, at normal room temperature, preferably with a fan.
Be careful of dirt and dust. Store dried screens in a cool,
dry, completely dark area until exposure.
Moisture impairs the photosensitivity of emulsion, so
the coated screen must be thoroughly dry before exposure.
Residual moisture can be present in the emulsion even when
it feels dry to the touch, causing underexposure.
• Dry the underlying emulsion thoroughly before applying
additional emulsion (if using Coating Method #3). Failure to
do so results in “case hardening” - the trapping of moisture
between coats of emulsion.
• Maintain stable humidity, it possible. Under humid conditions, coated screens need greater exposure time. Bear this in
mind in the summer if you don’t have a de-humidifier - an
inexpensive investment in more reliable stencil making.
• Under humid conditions, dry the screen with warm filtered
air, no higher than 104°F (40°C). A commercial dryer is a very
good investment.
• Try to arrange your shop so that the exposure and drying
areas are physically separated from the screen preparation
and washout areas, which generate a great deal of moist air.
Even inexpensive shower curtains will help to confine
washout mist.
Unused emulsion:
• Cover your filled scoop coater when you’re not using it. If it
picks up shop dirt and dust before you return it to the emulsion container, you can have pinholes and other contamination problems the next time you make a stencil.

Scoop Coaters
Easy-to-Use All-Aluminum Pro-Angle™ Scoop Coaters
• Professional Grade
• Rubber Edge Guard included
• All metal ends are permanently drilled, tapped and screwed on
The only all-aluminum coater on the market with permanent
ends,
feet on bottom of coater keep it parallel. Wing extensions flatten any emulsion that may spill over the sides and bead on
the screen.
All coaters cover a liquid coating area 1” less than size
ordered, for example, a 38” Pro-Angle™ coats 37” of emulsion
on your screen
Coat screens evenly and uniformly with A.W.T.'s emulsion
coaters. They are designed for easy and comfortable handling
while providing a smooth layer of emulsion on your screen.
The coating angle is designed on a perfect angle. It's calibrated to give you a perfect coating of emulsion every time.
Made from hard anodized gold aluminum, enclosures are
permanent for quick cleaning without leaking. Each coater
has a special edge protector.
Available in a full range of sizes for many different applications.
Always order a coater 1” larger than your liquid coating size.
For example, a 10” coater covers a 9” liquid coating area. Your
coating area should be 2” (1” on each side) larger than your
copy or print area. That means your scoop coater size Is a
total of 3” larger than your print area for optimum coating
results.
Coaters work best when coating edge is cleaned with damp
cloth and warm water after each use.
Emulsion must always be covered with plastic or cardboard
on coating trough while liquid is in scoop coater unit.
The coating edge must be protected with the special edge
guard when not in use. This protects the coating edge from
nicks.
Standard Features
• All aluminum coater
• Easy & comfortable handling
• Controllable coating deposit
• Uniform coating of emulsions and blockouts
• Designed with hard anodized gold aluminum trough
• Aluminum ends are permanent for easy cleaning and no
leaking

Direct Emulsions
Properties of Dual-Cure Emulsions:
Dual-Cure emulsions provide certain features and benefits that are
unattainable with standard diazo sensitized emulsions. A dual-cure
emulsion can be both water and solvent resistant, and still be
reclaimable. Dual-Cure technology, also makes it possible for a solvent
resistant emulsion to provide better mesh bridging and underexposure latitude than ever before. The combination of features offered by
Dual-Cure emulsions are due to the use of a photopoly-
mer that surrounds the emulsion’s solvent-soluble component, PVA
(polyvinylacetate), during exposure, making the product more solvent
resistant. PVA is normally found in standard water resistant emulsions
in high levels, contributing to water resistance, excellent bridging,
solids content, and underexposure latitude. It is the “protection” of the
PVA by the photopolymer that is responsible for the versatility of a
Dual-Cure emulsion.
Naz-Dar/KC Improved Nazdasol Rapid® Diazo

Nazdasol Rapid appears translucent, due to the amount and type
of polyvinylacetate used in the emulsion, thus making visual registration easier than with standard pigmented emulsions.
Nazdasol Rapid is lightly pigmented to facilitate easy registration and blocking out. Improved Nazdasol Rapid is now DBP
free.
Nazdasol Rapid is designed for the preparation of direct photostencils used in screen printing. It is recommended for applications which require a quick turn-around on mesh counts between
155-420 tpi and for use with:
• Solvent based inks
• Plastisols

Properties of Dual-Cure emulsions:
Dual-Cure emulsions provide certain features and benefits
that are unattainable with standard diazo sensitized emulsions. A dual-cure emulsion can be both water and solvent
resistant, and still be reclaimable. Dual-Cure technology also
makes it possible for a solvent resistant emulsion to provide

AUTOTYPE CHEMICALS
Mesh Preparation
Autoprep
Anti-Static Duster
Autoprep Gel Synthetic meshes such as monofilament polyester have an almost glass-like surface which does not promote the best stencil adhesion.
This soft cloth is embedded with an anti-static agent that
removes dust from film positives, mesh stencil films without
leaving any residue. Fully hemmed with bias tape to prevent
cloth fibers from contaminating surfaces.
To improve stencil adhesion and durability, new mesh should
be lightly abraded with Autoprep Gel, which effectively prepares the surface of new mesh for stencil application without
inflicting the damage that comes from abrading with abrasive
household cleaners.
Availability: Individually or in boxes of 10
Stencil Removal
Autostrip is a periodate-based formula that removes stencils
quickly and easily. Autostrip comes in two forms: a ready-touse gel and an economical powder concentrate. Both are
equally effective and are designed to remove direct emulsions, capillary films and polymer-based indirect films such
as Novastar.
To apply, use a circular motion to brush a small amount of
Autoprep Gel over both sides of the wetted mesh and then
rinse thoroughly.
Availability: - 1 kg (2.2 lb) and 5 kg (11 lb) containers.
Autostrip Gel
Universal Mesh Prep
The Autostrip Gel formulation ensures the product will
remain where it is applied,and will not run off the screen. It is
applied directly from the container, brushed into the screen
and rinsed off.
Unlike conventional detergent degreasers, Universal Mesh
Prep contains a wetting agent that enables screen fabrics to
hold an even sheet of water over the entire surface, with no
patchy areas or rivulets running down the screen. Mesh is
completely degreased and prepped for the best quality stencil
application.
UMP is especially effective when using capillary films, as it
ensures an even layer of water on the print side of the mesh
during film application. It also promotes a more even application of direct emulsions.
Brush Universal Mesh Prep into both sides of a wet screen,
allow to sit for one minute, and rinse thoroughly. Apply capillary films immediately after rinsing. Dry screens completely
prior to applying direct emulsion.
Availability: 1 qt., 1 gal., 5-gallon, 50-gallon drum
Complete the reclaiming process with a final rinse with a
high pressure spray. Some stencils may require the screen be
allowed to sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
Availability: 1-kg. and 5-kg. containers
Autostrip Powder
Autostrip Powder This periodate-based concentrated powder
is diluted in water prior to use. One 32-oz. container of
Autostrip Powder yields 24 gallons of stencil remover solution. The Autostrip solution can be sprayed or brushed onto
the screen, and is also highly recommended for use in dip
tanks.
Availability: 3.5-oz. sachets and 32-oz. containers
Useful Hint
Autogel
Always carry out degreasing directly before stencil application to avoid re-contamination by airborne grease and dust.
Autogel Use Autogel to remove gelatin indirect stencil films
from mesh. Apply with a brush and allow to sit for 5 minutes.The stencil will literally swell off the mesh and can then
be rinsed clean.
Inadequate mesh preparation is a common reason for premature stencil breakdown. Autotype abrading and degreasing
products will improve stencil adhesion to the mesh.
Availability: 1-liter bottles
Autobond X
Autobond X is an adhesion promoter used primarily for prepping mesh for indirect stencil film application.Apply Autobond
X to a dry screen using a soft cloth and allow to dry. Do not
rinse off, but lightly wet the screen prior to applying the stencil
film.

Autohaze is ideal for busy print shops or where maximum
haze removal performance is needed.
Green Filler
Availability: 1-kg. and 5-kg. containers
Useful Tip
Reclaiming chemicals can cause skin irritation. Some products
should not be used unless the handler is wearing rubber
gloves and eye protection. Always refer to the working
instructions. A high pressure washer is the most effective way
of completing mesh reclaiming. Ensure that all hazardous
chemicals have been rinsed away before using the pressure
washer.
Green Filler is a very fast drying blockout that is highly recommended for use for on-press screen repairs. It dries in seconds, allowing the print run to continue with minimal interruption. After printing, Green Filler is easily removed with
water.
Ink Removal
Autosolve

range of graphics inks, including paper and board,vinyl and
UV-curable inks. Its low evaporation rate reduces VOC emissions and solvent odors and allows longer dwell times for
improved ink removal.
Availability: 5 liter (1.32 gal.)
Blockouts
Ruby Block
Outstanding coatability and high contrast red color are the
key features of this premium solvent resistant blockout. Ruby
Block is a medium viscosity blockout for use on fine and
medium mesh counts. It even coats and fills mesh openings
without the drip-through that can lead to pinholes.

Stretch-Tech may be the most versatile screen
fabric stretching system in the world. The main
control panel is engineered to drive virtually
any system configuration; add or subtract
clamps, change clamp bar widths, or add more
air manifolds as the job requires. Stretching
multiple frames at the same time is no problem
for the Stretch-Tech. Individual leveling bolts
on each clamp assure proper contact between
fabric and frame.
Simple controls allow independent settings of
pressure and stretching speeds for both weft
and warp. New "Drop-In" Clamps make fabric
loading easy, locking into position to prevent
slipping. Color-coded air lines and
quick-release manifold connectors allow fast
set-up and configuration changes. For the ultimate in fabric stretching efficiency, the exclusive A.W.T. Auto-Tensioning Module option
can be added to your Stretch-Tech system at
any time, in just minutes. This unique unit
automatically stretches fabric in stages, freeing
the operator for other tasks. The Stretch-Tech
system operates from a standard 100 psi commercial air supply (not included).
STRETCH-TECH STANDARD FEATURES

PLUNGER CANS
The best way to handle flammable liquids used in sponging
and cleaning operations. Economical and convenient. Pushing
down on pan pumps liquid into pan to moisten sponge or rag.
Surplus liquid immediately drains back into can through holes
in the brass pan screen and in the reservoir cover. Eliminates
the danger of exposed liquid. Perforated pan screen also serves
as flame arrester. Amount of liquid pumped into pan is adjusted easily by turning adjusting nut. Pump assembly (cylinder,
piston, etc.) is made of brass. Reservoir is 12 pound Terne
Plate. Large cover opening in reservoir permits thorough cleaning of interior.

Storage and dispensing is just half the job when it comes to
protective handling of flammable and combustible liquids. The
other half is the collection and disposal of these liquids after
they have been used. Perhaps this is the most critical part of

Screen Carriage
Adjustable Height Screen Carriage
The Adjustable Height Screen Carriage combines all the excellent features of the Adjustable Height Hinge Clamp. You not only
have the registration advantages of the Screen Carriage but you can raise the screen up to three inches off the table top. Just
unlock the clamp by loosening the wing nut and reposition the clamp to the desired height.
With these special height clamps on the Screen Carriage your present shop becomes more versatile and can screen on the thicker and bulkier materials - and profitably, too.
Plywood, boxes, books, chassis, instrument panels, wood signs which normally would require fancy jigging can be set-up in a
jiffy - as fast as you would on regular card stock. Raise the screen to the right height, lock the clamp, and then slide that thick
piece under the screen like paper - you’re ready to print.
The Adjustable Height Screen Carriage attaches to your present table top. No special tops or extras are needed. The unit comes
complete, ready to operate. Handles up to 32” screens.

and other related cylindrical objects. The screen carrier glides smoothly and effortlessly on sealed ball bearing wheels. There are stops and adjustments for squeegee
pressure and stroke length. Features include a replaceable “V” type squeegee
blade. The frame carriage pivots away from the squeegee arm for ease- of screen
cleaning and easily flips (pivots) back for printing operation. Adjustments of the
wareholder include vertical, horizontal, forward, and reverse movements. Printing
is accomplished by depressing squeegee handle, which, at the same time, lowers
screen and either push or pull screen carrier. Lift up squeegee arm and the cycle is
complete. Due to manual operation, production speeds depend upon operator, but
speeds of up to 450 IPH are common.

Direct Advantage Printer
Direct to Cotton Printing!
Print on Cotton with NaturaLink™ Direct to Cotton Ink
NaturaLink™, the latest innovation from Sawgrass Technologies, is the direct to cotton
ink digital printers have demanded. The only ink that uses patented dye and pigment
ink technology to create nanobright images, NaturaLink™ inks utilize a “cross–link”
chemistry that creates a lasting bond to cotton. When the printed image is heat–activated
to the garment, the ink molecules actually create a chemical “cross–link” with the cotton
molecules, infusing the two together. The result? 100% cotton NaturaLink™ garments
that start bright and stay bright.

Accu-Print™ Series of Semi-Automatic Screen Printers
Designed with Features Usually Found Only on Larger Size Presses, Including Quiet, Brushless, Maintenance-Free
Vacuum Motor, Tool-less Squeegee, Flood Carriage Pressure Control & Adjustable Vacuum Bed Height
The Accu-Print's master frame is a standard feature usually found only on larger presses. The master frame is universally designed to
hold most frames, including retensionable frames, and securely locks in place for proper registration and print repeatability.
The DC driven squeegee carriage ensures smooth print stroke operation. Precisely graduated micro-registration controls make
extremely accurate, high precision, repeatable printing easy on the Accu-Print.
A.W.T.'s extremely quiet vacuum motor operates without brushes or sparks and is energy efficient and virtually maintenance-free for
years of reliable operation. These motors are standard on the Accu-Print and firmly hold stock in register on the vacuum bed during
the print stroke.
The Stay-FIat™, anodized, all aluminum, static reducing vacuum bed is designed for accurate printing on a uniform, flat surface. The
Accu-Print is engineered to print on a wide variety of substrates. Vacuum bed height is easily adjustable to 14" (35 cm) for printing on
materials of varying thicknesses.
The stroke is easily adjustable from the rear of the frame toward the front. This adjustment allows the guides to stay in their original
position and permits maximum savings of mesh and top cycling speeds. All-around safety package stops the press action when any
object interferes with the front or sides of the safety bar.
The front of the press has a wide open area for easy access to the screen during set up and operation. The up-front control panel has
separate squeegee and flood speed controls, operating mode selection (dwell timer, foot pedal or single print), digital sheet counter,
vacuum on/off and press stop and start switches. The Accu-Print is mounted on heavy duty casters with locking levelers for easy
mobility.

Accu-Print High Tech™ Flatbed Screen Printers
State-of-the-Art Features for Fast, Smooth & Accurate Production
A.W.T.'s Accu-Print High-Tech™ flatbed screen printer combines the features screen printers most demand in a flatbed press
with state-of-the-art technological breakthroughs in one unique press.
The High-Tech is easy to set up and is equipped with excellent production controls to turn out top-quality prints. Even a novice
operator can learn to run the High-Tech in minimal training time. The automatic computer controlled stroke adjustment allows
the operator to dial in the exact length needed for variable stroke adjustment with just the touch of a button.
A separate solid state DC drive motor controls the squeegee's print stroke movement independently of the carriage lift for an
absolutely smooth, even stroke. The screen carriage is easily adjusted without tools. Its simple adjustable controls are calibrated
in thousandths of an inch to assure tight registration.
The squeegelizer automatically equalizes squeegee pressure along the length of the blade. A single electric switch allows the
operator to choose from stopping the carriage in the rear or front position for running conventional solvent based or UV ink products.
The master frame is locked to the printing surface on all four comers for easy registration. This assures a print head repeatability of ±0001. The standard micro-registration table speeds set up.
A.W.T.'s exclusive quiet, brush free vacuum motor keeps the noise level to almost a non-existing level. These motors operate
without brushes and are virtually maintenance free.

AUTO-TEX™ Multicolor Textile Printer
Available for both Hydraulic and Servo
Drive Systems in print
sizes of 18x22" (45x56cm), 20x24" (51x61cm)
and 22X36 (56x91cm)
and the following configurations:
10 station indexer- up to 8 colors
A.W.T. has Developed and Implemented a New
Servo Drive Technology with
• Stronger Servo state-of-the-art technologies
• Compact design with full features
• Easy to maintain with safety features
• Less maintenance required Along with remote
diagnostic servicing for instant service and
training, this system has more features than
any other machine in its class.
The AUTO-TEX™ Automatic textile printer combines the
experience of a printer with user-friendly high tech engineering that simply isn't matched. Rigid steel construction, Servo
or a hydraulically driven system and a precision tapered
roller bearing with linear motion give the Auto-Tex smooth
operation at full production speeds of over 900 pieces per
hour with hydraulic drive and 1100 pieces per hour with
Servo drive, and an on board micro-processor. Each head is
individually controlled with the ability to adjust the print
stroke up front, squeegee and flood bar pressure and angle.
The flood and non-flood control allows for the printing of
plastisol and water based inks. A.W.T.'s unique ink recovery
system is centralized on the front panel. It shifts the squeegee
back into the ink deposit, without readjusting the stroke
length, with the push of a button.
All aluminum rubber covered pallets with A.W.T.'s patented
Insta-Clamp™ System ensures smooth printing as well as
easy pallet change over without any tools. Simply release one
latch to remove a pallet.
Easily adjustable On-off contact controls and (optional)
adjustable peel allow proper snap "peel" of the screen as it
completes the print stroke. This makes test printing on Tshirts or fleece possible. The print-in/print-out/test print feature is part of the AUTO-TEX's user friendly operation.
The indexer registration system, along with our new microregistration system, allows for printing of +/- .001 for 4-color
process work and extremely accurate print repeatability from
station to station - consistently.
Front and rear screen holders accept universal frames as well
as retensionable frames for precise registration and print
repeatability. Frames are quickly and easily loaded from the
front. The AUTO-TEX only requires electricity and a small
compressor for operation.

Processing and Handling
❶
Storage and Processing Conditions
The self-adhesive products ORACAL®, ORAJET®, ORAGUARD®, ORABOND®, and
ORAMOUNT® are supplied in rolls and should at all times be stored either suspended or
standing on end on the roll blocks provided, and never Iaying on the material side. For storage
and processing they should be kept in a cool, dry place protected from sunlight. Relative air
humidity between 50% and 60% and temperature between +64°F and +72°F should be ensured.
Direct sunlight, storage beside radiators, etc. should by all means be avoided. Please observe
the shelf life instructions contained in the technical data sheet available for each film at
www.oracal.com.
❷
Instructions for Printing
Digital printing materials should be handled with a high degree of care. Lint-free gloves should
be used to prevent surface damage. Check surface quality prior to printing. Make sure to load
the correct media profile for your job, based on your specific combination of media, ink, printer
and RIP software. Each series of ORAJET® digital media requires different print and RIP software parameter settings due to its individual qualities, such as thickness of adhesive layer.
In addition, be sure to match the digital media with the correct inks based on the durability
and intended use (i.e. indoor/outdoor).
❸
Lamination
Lamination of inkjet prints is recommended to ensure longer lives at optimum quality (gloss,
color, depth, mechanical damage). ORAGUARD® laminate films enhance the color effect for the
desired appearance of the surface (gloss, matte, semi-gloss), provide excellent protection
against the UV rays of the sun destroying color pigments, and against humidity and abrasion.
Soiling can easily be removed by using common household cleaning agents. It is important for
all lamination that the ink of the print has thoroughly cured before application (minimum of 24
hours). Insuffficient drying of the used inks may lead to damaging of the laminate adhesive or
bubble formation. Moreover, difficulties might arise with the stability of inks not full, cured.
Spread freshly printed media out for proper drying.

1. Prepare design as mirror image
2. Remove the protective film (usually blue but may be pink).
3. Plotter-cut Ref-lite 8500 series as mirror image through the micro
glass bead reflective layer and thermo-sensitive adhesive to the clear film

Press firmly with a hand iron or with a heat press at 275°- 305° F for 3 to 5
seconds to tack the Ref-lite to fabric. Do not use more pressure, temperature or dwell time than is recommended because the adhesive on the weeded backing may stick to fabric.
6. Remove the protective clear film from the fabric after it has cooled completely.
7. Place a Teflon coated protective sheet over the image and reheat at 275°305° F for 5 - 7 seconds. Let cool completely. Peel away Teflon sheet to finish the transfer process.

E-Z Weed is an economy version of our best selling ThermoFlex PLUS. This film is manufactured without the self adhesive
layer which, while useful for repositioning letters that may
move during weeding, can be a problem when large numbers of
shirts are being lettered and numbered for athletic teams.
E-Z Weed does not stick to itself and allows weeded designs to
be stacked . The backing sheet is also much easier to weed and
“peel”. Transfer requires 345°F to 350°F for 15 to 20 seconds
with firm pressure. This product may be peeled "warm".
Polyester fabrics may require lower temperatures and dwell
times to prevent dye migration.(bleeding through)

S1 Cotton Pro
Cotton Pro's unique formulation helps manual printers
achieve bright, opaque colors without a flashed white
underbase - even on dark
fabrics. From the beginning,
we set out to engineer a new
kind of ink that maximizes
opacity and color development while minimizing
screens, flashing and printer
fatigue. The result - a new
type of ink that is highly
opaque yet incredibly easy
to print. Coupled with a
satin finish and super soft
hand, Cotton Pro is ideal for
all your 100% cotton printing
applications.
S1 Poly Max
Today's polyester-based fabrics present serious production challenges for even the
most experienced printers.
Many of these fabrics are.
prone to dye migration and
require bleed-resistant inks
that are equally up to the
challenge. That's why we
created the Poly Max line.
Poly Max combines highopacity coverage with maximum bleed-resistance for
100% polyester and poly
blended fabrics.
S1 Nylon Plus
Whether you're printing on
porthole, micromesh or dazzle cloth - Nylon Plus is the
ink for the job. Nylon Plus is
engineered to produce a
high-gloss finish with excellent adhesion and durability.
Nylon Plus prints easily
through recommended mesh
counts and delivers opaque
results with either printflash-print or flashed underbase applications.

Crystalina Iridescent Colors:
Similar in characteristics to Metallic Glitter Colors, these products utilize iridescent flakes. These products are
available in red, blue and fluorescent varieties as well as the standard green shade.
Glow in the Dark/Phosphorescent Colors:
These products absorb light energy and glow when the light source is removed. Popular standard is a light yellow/green (1100-331) also available in standard fluorescent colors.
Foil Adhesive Bases:
The 1100-797 facilitates the transfer of foil films to most fabrics. This provides durable means of foil and metallic
enhancement to printed garments.
Flock Adhesive Bases:
Our 1100-4090 Product is offered for use with flock transfer
High Elongation Inks:
Our STRC products offer high stretch properties for use with Lycra™ and similar fabrics. When properly cured,
the white ink can be used as a stretch base for use with standard plastisol products. Standard products are White,
Black and Base for use with Color Concentrates.
High Density Matte Inks:
These products provide high definition coats in use with thick stencils. Rapid curing with a matte effect is used to
provide the contrast necessary for this definitive effect. Offered in White, Black, and Base for use with Color
Concentrates.
Nylon Mesh Inks:
These are high adhesion products offered for use on Nylon mesh fabrics. Formulation characteristics facilitate
after-tack and ease of printing, yet excellent bonding properties. Offered in White, Black and Base as well as
Metallic Silver and Gold.
Outdoor Banner Inks:
These products have been formulated for extreme weather resistance properties when used to produce decorative
or informative banners. The use of high performance Pigment selection ,and low migratory coating and formulation expects to achieve quite extensive outdoor durability with recommended curing. Color availability on request,
many popular standard colors in series.
Shimmer Sparkle Colors:
These are metallic colors formulated to give brilliant sparkle effects using conventional mesh sizes. Although an
undercoat must be used, the use of the Sparkle Brite coat is highly recommended, to achieve the best effect. When
used on 100° cotton goods as an undercoat for standard plastisol colors, the Sparkle Brite Coat reduces the defective washed out effect (lining).
Glitter Colors:
In addition to the Silver and Gold Standard colors, these are offered in many popular color variations. Color
requests are available with a five-gallon minimum. Prices do vary and will be quoted by order.
