silicone 3D glossy printing on Fabric

Silicone High-density printing :

Preparation:

Mesh&Squeegee: 120(48T) Mesh number; 65-75 degree Squeegee.
Pigments added ratio: For white and fluorescent color 20%, other colors 10%
Catalyst mixing ratio: 2% slow dry XG-866B-1 and fast dry XG-866B-2 can mix together for use.
Thinner XG-128A adding ratio:0-20%    thinner is not necessary for hand printing
Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp:100℃- 120℃ for 6-10 seconds, Drying temp:120℃- 140℃ for about 2 -5 minutes.

Silicone ink printing tips:

1 HD silicone XG-866A/866AH for undercoating  and high-density printing for 2-8 times 
HD silicone     XG-866A/866AH        60G
Fast dry catalyst   XG-866B-2           1.2G  2%   If machine printing to use a slow dry catalyst.
Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-20% is enough for machine printing. Cure by the temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.
If fabric with hairy or want to get a more smooth effect kindly assist by heat press machine or iron after first time printing. After printing keeps wet to heat press by temp 150-170 degrees for 10-20 seconds.
2 Color effect silicone printing for 3-4 times : 
HD silicone       XG-866A/866AH        50G
White color pigment    XG-102          10G For white and fluorescent color 20%, other colors 10%
Fast dry catalyst        XG-866B-2       1G  2%  If machine printing to use a slow dry catalyst.
Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by the temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.
3 Glossy silicone ink or matte silicone ink for top coating:
 Glossy top coating for 1-2 times:
Glossy silicone ink   XG-399-3  50G
Fast dry catalyst  XG-866B-2      1G  2%  It will be better to use slow dry catalyst XG-866B-1 and fast dry half and half. If for machine printing to use a slow dry catalyst.
Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by the temp of 100-110℃ 10-25 seconds.
