For single print colors, colors will reproduce best over white - light substrate or single white base plate on dark substrates. When direct printing over dark cotton, print-flash-print using lower mesh screens.
Flash at 180-200°F, for 3 - 5 seconds. Each shop’s operating parameters might be faster or shorter depending on your production variable. Cure at 260°F, the ink is cured when it hits 260 throughout the entirety of the ink layer.
If you are able to keep temperatures low in your dryer and hit cure temp* closer to 260°, you can keep the dyes in the polyester fabrics from bleeding into your inks. To briefly summarize why this happens, most polyester fabric’s dye/temperature is set between 270°-300°. When the polyester thread hits the temperature range again, the dyes return to a gaseous state and are absorbed by the plastisol inks. This is why there are low bleed inks on the market.
But as stated above, if you can cure your ink below the bleed point of the polythread, you do not have to worry about dye migration!
*Cure is attained when the ENTIRE ink layer reaches 260°, meaning that the ink is 260° from the top to the bottom of the ink layer. If you are using a laser gun to read the surface temp, this WILL be misleading. Laser temp guns give you a reflective reading. When tested side-by-side with a donut probe, you will see temperature differences as great as 120°-150° early in the cure cycle (the donut probe accurately measures the contact temperature where the crosshairs reside). As you reach the end of the dryer, those temperatures will get closer together. As a direct result – you will need to read a surface temp as little as 60° above what stated cure temp is and as much as 100° depending on how short your dryer tunnel is and how hot your settings are. This is due to a few things:
When changing your dryer to low cure temps, follow the recommendations and parameters laid out above and do wash testing to ensure your new dryer settings are reaching full cure.
Ink degredent or press wash.
Store at 65-90°F (18-32°C), avoiding direct sunlight. Ideal when used within one year of manufacturing date.

Opening my gallon, I was met with an oil slick... I mixed it with the drill and moved on (Wilflex does not separate) 2 days later I went to use more and the oil slick was back... If I don't spend 5 minutes mixing the product every day, it separates... YUCK! Also if it doesn't mix well enough, the oils push thru the screen like water...Only been printing 10 years but not sure ink should act this way. It also creeps up the squeegee constantly and makes for longer more difficult runs. The end result is not as good as my regular brand either. In my opinion it is an inferior product. Will not buy again, might have to find new suppliers
Hi Mike, Thank you for leaving us your feedback on the FN-INK Black. We are sorry to hear the product did not work out for you and would like to offer some support. Please reach back out to me directly Courtney - cstake@ryonet.com Thank you, we appreciate you!
I purchased a gallon of FN black Because wilfex.was out of stock.and that’s what my sales rep sold me . I absolutely hate it , I have puddles of water inside the gallon . I mixed it up real good and its still too watery. I can’t get a clear print even on a 230 screen . Totally inconsistent.
Hey John, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for letting us know about your experience with the ink. I can Darryl Sapp had reached out to you regarding the ink after consulting with our Product Specialist, and we apologize this is not holding the same consistency as the Lava Black. Please give his advice of a good and thorough mixing a try, and if you continue to have issues, we are here to help! Thank you, Kayli B
This ink looks awesome on garments. My clients loves it. From the first coat, using 156 mesh, I was truly amazed. I will always buy the FN ink. Thanks guys for this awesome product.
Works great for the jobs I am doing. Thinner than expected but gets the job done.
I like the FN ink line, black and other colors are smooth and easy to print with, pretty consistent and have been wash tested 20+ times and look just as good as day 1!
