DESCRIPTION

Wilflex Epic Rival Sport LC Defender is a cutting-edge plastisol ink solution specifically engineered to combat dye migration on performance fabrics. Ideal for use on 100% polyester, polyester blends, triblends, and dye-sublimated garments, this ink offers a superior foundation for color and white inks in the Rival Sport LC series. With improved printability, lower cure temperatures, and excellent bleed resistance, it supports both manual and automatic screen printing applications while contributing to energy savings and fabric preservation.

FEATURES

Superior Opacity: Provides a solid and vibrant base layer that blocks dye migration and enhances top colors.
Low Cure Temperature: Cures between 250°F - 300°F, reducing energy use and minimizing fabric damage.
Excellent Bleed Resistance: Offers strong protection against dye migration across a wide temperature range, even on bleed-prone garments.
Improved Printability: Creamy viscosity and smooth flow make it suitable for both manual and automatic presses.
Non-Phthalate Formula: Meets environmental and safety standards for responsible printing.
Versatile Substrate Compatibility: Optimized for 100% polyester, polyester blends, triblends, and dye-sublimated fabrics.
Energy Efficient: Supports sustainability initiatives through lower cure requirements.
Print Guidelines Optimized: Designed for best results when paired with high-tension mesh, sharp squeegees, and compatible top coats like RIVAL SPORT™ LC White and other Colors.

DETAILS

SCREEN CREATION

Wilflex Epic Rival Sport LC Defender works with 86-230 mesh counts. Ideal screen tension should be 25-35 n/cm2.

FABRIC TYPES

Best performs on 100% polyester, triblends, polyester blends, cotton/poly blends, and cotton/lycra blends.

PRINTING

Stir inks before printing
Lower cure range Use consistent, high-tensioned screen mesh and sharp edged squeegees for best print results
For superior bleed resistance, overprint RIVAL SPORT™ LC DEFENDER with RIVAL SPORT™ LC White and Colors
RIVAL SPORT™ LC DEFENDER demonstrates improve printability making it ideal for manual and automatic printing
Print RIVAL SPORT™ LC DEFENDER so that the flashed ink deposit fully covers the underlying fabric, avoid any fabric showing through the under base layer

Use a squeegee with a durometer of 60/90/60, 70/90/70, or any squeegee between 60 and 90 durometer. When printing, angle the squeegee by 10-15% and use a medium to fast stroke with a medium flood.

CURING INSTRUCTIONS

Flash at 150°F (66°C)
Cure at 250°F - 300°F (121°C - 148°C)
Adjust flash temperature and dwell time so the ink is just dry to the touch. Depending on the flash unit, a 2 - 3 second flash could be adequate.
Curing is a time and temperature process, a lower oven temperature setting with a slower belt speed while maintaining recommended ink cure temperature is always best to protect fabric, control dye migration, and reduce energy consumption.

CLEAN UP

Ink Degradents: Easiway Multipurpose or Sgreen Ink Degrader
Press Wash: Sgreen Supreme
