Bring the ultimate rainbow of color into your shop and
to your customers. With a color matching system you can specifically
match almost any color your customer wants or you need. You complete
control. Also, if you have a matching system you never have to worry
about running out of ink because you can also mix more. A color matching
system is great for any screen printing shop small or large. The UltraMix® 7400 Color System is
economically priced and easy to use, UltraMix®7400 inks offer
faster wet-on-wet production speeds with less pressure and extremely low ink
build-up. The color matching system consists of 15 intermixable colors that
enable printers to simulate PANTONE® colors on white and dark
(with white underlay) fabrics.
This system comes with 13 gallons and 3 quarts
of ink. That’s not only a great deal on ink, but it will give you the
ability to cater to any of your customers ink color needs not to mention
print thousands of shirts.
In order to properly run a color matching system there
are a few key tools you need to be sure you have. First you need a pantone
book. The IC 7400 Color System matches off Coated Pantone colors, have a
few books around is never a bad idea because it’s a great tool to help
customers choose what color matches their needs. Remember, also show the
customer the COATED Pantone Colors. If you don’t have a pantone color guide
you can add on to this kit for only $85.
The other thing that you must have is a gram scale,
this ink is mixed by weight and both the computer software as well as the
formulation guide give you mixing ratio’s and calculations in order to
properly mix and match your ink. We recommend getting a scale that can
calculate as low as a 1/10th of a gram for the highest accuracy.
We carry scales that can mix up to a quart or up to a gallon depending on
the maximum quantity you would like to mix to.

Application & Storage Information
RECOMMENDED FABRICS: Light colored 100% cotton or cotton/polyester
blends. Use an underbase for printing dark fabrics.
INK APPLICATION: Colors should be printed without any modifications.
If thinning is required, use IC Curable Reducer (1% to 5% by volume).
SCREEN MESH AND EMULSION: 110 to 305
Any direct or indirect lacquer resistant emulsion. Use 35 to 70 micron
capillary film for best results.
SQUEEGEE: 60-70 Durometer: Sharp Edge
60-90-60 or 70-90-70 Triple Durometer: Sharp Edge
CURE TEMPERATURE: 325° (163°C) Entire ink film. Test dryer
temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run.
CLEAN-UP: Screen Wash 147 or any environmentally friendly plastisol
screen wash.
STORAGE OF INK CONTAINERS: Recommend storage at
65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Keep containers well sealed.
SPOT FLASHING
The UltraMix® 7400 inks will spot dry, with very low after flash tack, in 3
to 8 seconds depending on the spot dryer used. Too much heat / time may cause the ink to become sticky after flashing. Adjust flash unit accordingly. When spot drying, the ink should be just dry to the touch, with no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing any of the flashed colors may cause inter-coat adhesion problems with the inks printed on top of the flashed ink. Final curing I fusing will occur in the dryer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. In order to achieve the best color matching results using the UltraMix®
7400 Color System, the specified system primaries must be used. Using colors other than the specified primaries will produce inaccurate matching results.
2. Use 7401LF Mixing White in all formulas calling for white. Use 7422LF
Black as the mixing black in all formulas calling for black. Using any other white or black will produce inaccurate
results.
3. Use an underbase print when printing UltraMix® 7400 inks onto dark fabrics. Use 771LF, 774LF, 7031LF or
7034LF white as an underbase ink. To achieve a softer hand and faster production speeds, print underbase ink through finer mesh counts 230 to 305 t/in or 90 to 120 t/cm.
4. The UltraMix® 7400 inks are low bleed inks, not non-bleed inks. On some
types of fabric, bleeding or dye migration may occur. Always test print the fabric to be printed before beginning production. Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.
5. Excessive squeegee pressure will drive the UltraMix® 7400 inks through
the fabric being printed. Adjust squeegee pressure, angle and off-contact to insure proper shear and lay down of printed ink. Proper settings of squeegee, flood bar and off-contact will improve performance, improve screen life and squeegee durability.
6. Adding too much reducer or other additives to the UltraMix® 7400 inks may
cause curing/fusing or increased dye migration problems.
7. UltraMix® 7400 inks are easy to print when compared to other inks and can
be printed through finer mesh counts. This means less ink usage and faster production times, a real money saver. Using finer mesh counts also means a softer hand of the finished product.
