Premium low bleed ink for poly/cotton blends

EL9240 NPT Snap White is formulated as low bleed, press-ready plastisol for printing on polyester/cotton fabrics.  This product is excellent for printing through a variety of mesh ranges to give great opacity and smooth finish.  

Features  

• Creamy, short body plastisol for easy printing.
• Tack free formulation for fast shearing action.
• Great bleed resistance.
• Prints through a range of mesh counts.
• Fast flash, first down white with low after tack.
• Optically brightened to produce superior whiteness and opacity
• Non-Phthalate formulation to comply with new regulations restricting phthalates.  

Application 

Print EL9240 directly onto 50/50 substrates to obtain ultimate opacity and bleed resistance.  EL9240 may be applied as an underlay white when printed through mesh ranges from 86-230 mc./in. (34-90 mc./cm.) to achieve very fine details like simulated halftones, or can be printed as a stand alone white for maximum whiteness.  The quick flash characteristics of this product allow it to function either way. 

   
NOTE:  Poorly dyed polyester or too much heat in the curing process can overcome any low bleed inks ability to block the migration. For severe migration use ES0266 Barrier Base as an underlay.   

*Note to 100% Cotton users: 100% Cotton could have a ghost image appear if printed with low bleed inks. EL9240 NPT Snap White is a low bleed ink and should not be printed on 100% Cotton. EL9240 NPT Snap White is recommended for polyester/cotton blends.  

Special Recommendations

Do not dry clean, bleach, or iron the printed image. 

Claira Colours™, bases, modifiers and additives should be mixed in clean vessels using clean mixer blades and utensils. Any contamination from other ink sources or non approved additives could make Claira Colours™ test positive for the restricted phthalates.
