Technical Details

Gel Temperature: Ink will gel on surface at 240° F (126° C).

Curing: Excalibur 1596PF SportPro Defender will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches 315° F (163° C.) and held at this temperature for at least 30 seconds.

Heat Transfers: Excalibur 1596PF SportPro Defender may be used to back inks in the production of cold peel transfers when used in conjunction with Excalibur 846PF Printable Adhesive and C57 Hot Melt Powder to promote best adhesion to substrate.

Mesh: For direct printing an 83-110/inch (16T-43Tcm) provides excellent results for direct printing and backing cold-peel transfers.

Stencil: Any stencil compatible with plastisol inks may be used.

Modification: Because plastisol inks are thixotropic and can body up during storage always stir ink thoroughly prior to print or adding reducers. If necessary Excalibur 1501PF Curable Reducer may be added to increase printability of ink and help clean ink from the screen. CAUTION: Adding too much Excalibur 1501PF Curable Reducer will reduce opacity and reduce bleed resistance of Excalibur 1596PF SportPro Defender. Because 501PF Curable Reducer can actually promote bleed resistance it should not be used as a modifier in any SportPro ink.

Squeegee: 70 durometer or 90/70/90 triple durometer blades are recommended.

Printing Technique: A print/flash print technique may be necessary to produce desired results.

Clean-up: Use Enviro Series 2000 Green or Enviro Series TR Blend.

CAUTION

Always test finished prints for curing, adhesion, opacity, bleed-resistance and desired look prior to beginning full production runs. Lancer Group International cannot guarantee the results or back claims that this ink will test PVC-free or phthalate-free if any additive other than an additive manufactured by Lancer Group International is used to modify this ink. Test results by a third-party laboratory verifying all components used to produce this ink are PVC-free, phthalate-free and lead-free are available upon request. No claim in this Technical Data Sheet is intended to guarantee Excalibur Defender 1596PF works and blocks dye migration on every 100% polyester dark fabric. Customer testing is required and should be implemented when printing any new product or unfamiliar fabric.
