Description 

M3 Ink Mixing System is a non-phthalate finished ink mixing system. M3 colours directly replace the M2 and EM ink mixing colours. They are opaque resulting in excellent coverage on dark garments.  The tackfree formula allows printing through a range of mesh counts without the need for a viscosity modifier.  Use a white underlay when printing on dark fabrics for that extra “pop” in brightness.  No build-up formulations ensure the highest print efficiencies without down time for wiping screens.

Application 

Printing on White Garments: Mix per formulation or by eye to achieve brilliant colours on 100% cotton whites. For extremely soft-hand prints, mix finished colour up to 1:1 with Claira ES0250 NPT Chino Base. 

Printing on Dark Garments or over an underlay: When printing on dark garments, mix per formulation or custom blend to achieve brilliant colours over an underlay. Use the NPT Low Bleed White on poly/cotton blends and the ES0266 NPT Barrier Base when printing on 100% polyester.

Puff designs: Mix 10-15% of Claira NPT Puff Additive to any formulated Claira™ Colour to create a puff ink. 

Special Recommendations 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.
