That compound is Zinc Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate. The discharge process begins from high heat, either during flashing or curing, breaking apart the activator molecule. Once the activator is in its separate components, the formaldehyde attaches to the fabric dye and breaks the dye molecule. It's this process which removes the color from the garment you are printing on. However, not all dyes react well and are considered “non-dischargeable”. So check with your garment manufacturer for a dischargeability rating chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the garment dye is removed (this process happens at 250°F) you need to continue to heat up the ink layer and get a FULL cure of your entire ink layer. Even though this is not a traditional discharge, we do still need to make sure all of the water has evaporated from the ink layer and that the plastisol ink has reached cure temperature. Each plastisol ink brand has different cure temps, check with your manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the discharge process and during cure, the formaldehyde combines with the sulfur to create an inert molecule. As always, make sure you vent all air from the dryer to the outside. Some people have an itchy or swelling reaction when handling the discharge agent, what they are reacting to is the Sulfur in the activator. About 3% of the population has a sulfur allergy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, test before running production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMULSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScreens must be coated with a water-resistant emulsion, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewe recommend using an emulsion like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.screenprinting.com\/products\/baselayr-complete-emulsion\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBaselayr Complete\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Use a harder squeegee and use just enough pressure to drive the ink into the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways finish your print stroke with a good heavy flood. Print with a squeegee angle between 15°- 25°. For big open-spot colorwork, a heavier angle works well. For fine line and halftone work, a sharper angle is best. While there is no need to flash in between colors, you can do so if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf printing spot colors, it is recommended to print the lightest \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rgbcolorcode.com\/\"\u003ecolor\u003c\/a\u003e to the darkest color.

A good ink will remain wet on the back of each screen. This small amount of wet ink build-up is beneficial for ink coverage and color intensity in all types of wet-on-wet printing, especially simulated process printing. These tips are designed to help create a controlled ink build and help with successful wet-on-wet printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFABRIC TYPES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilflex Epic Rio will perform best over 100% cotton fabrics but can be printed onto all fabric types. When printing over any polyester or polyester blend, please use the appropriate low-bleed white or bleed blocker base to reduce or stop dye migration. If printing on stretchy fabrics like lycra or spandex, a stretch additive or stretch underbase will be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCURING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlash at 220°F (105°C) for 3 - 5 seconds.

Depending on the flash unit, a 2 - 3 second flash is adequate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRio inks will cure when the entire ink layer has reached at least 260°F throughout the entire ink layer. Rio inks are stable when cured at higher temperatures. Cure temps ranging from 260°F to 280°F are considered standard and the ink will remain stable as temperatures climb above 300°F-320°F. Rio can be used on the same design with standard cure (320°F) inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuring is a time and temperature process.

You can also choose a slightly darker color in the PMS book. When it’s printed over the base white, it will typically lighten up and be a closer match. When direct printing over dark cotton, there is no guarantee you will maintain color integrity due to each ink's inherent opacity.

Most polyester fabrics’ dye\/temperature is set between 270°F-300°F. When the polyester thread hits that temperature range again, the dyes return to a gaseous state and are absorbed by the plastisol inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of dye sublimation, the dye transfer temps are much much lower.

It is recommended to print FN-INK™ Metallic Gold over either a clear or color underbase or a white base.

You can add 10%-20% of a color to gold to give it a tint. You can also add the gold to a color at 10%-20% to create a slight sparkle effect. For example, adding 20% of gold to Black FN-INK™ creates a subtle, shimmery effect that works well as a background color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll gold flake inks will introduce a gold color value (a red, yellow, black tint) to the ink. As a result, not all colors will look the way you may want or expect. For example, adding Bright Red to Gold at 20% will create a brown shade of ink. While it is suggested to use complimentary colors when tinting FN-INK™ Metallic Gold, the ratios may need to be adjusted to match expectations.
