Ideal screen tension should be 25-35 n\/cm2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen coating the screen with emulsion, it’s recommended to follow the 2x2 method where the emulsion over mesh is 15-20%. Coating techniques may vary depending on the design and desired print outcome. Test and confirm with client before going into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFABRIC TYPES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilflex Epic Rio RFU best performs on 100% cotton, 100% polyester, triblends, polyester blends, cotton\/poly blends, and cotton\/lycra blends.  Use a Low Bleed white or Poly white as needed to fight dye migration. When printing on 100% polyester, a dye blocker base may be needed to prevent dye migration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRINTING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor single-color prints, colors will reproduce best over white or light-colored fabrics or a single white underbase on dark substrates.
