The PC Series of EnviroLine Water Based Inks can easily be used with CMS
(Color Matching Software) which can match any pantone color using the14
basic PC Enviro-Line colors & The Clear Base 301 and Matte Base 301. Simply input
the pantone number and ink amount into the software and quickly get your mixing
formulations. Download this software FREE right
here. (When running
the software be sure to select the correct type of ink under the "FILE" menu in
the software. You will want to select RC.)
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 PC 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.

Advantages Of Enviro-Line Water Based Inks:
• Free of most environmentally damaging chemicals such as PVC, phthalate, heavy
metals, azo compounds, nonylphenol and formaldehyde. (Note: Discharge inks do use
formaldehyde and must be handled differently)
• Ability to use wide range of mesh counts up to 300+.
• Exceptionally soft hand,
• Intense pigment colors,
• Ease of use and breath ability of the ink on fabric.
• Ability to achieve entire Pantone Color range using our 14 basic Pantone colors.
• Formulated for tack free enhanced screen stability which prevents in screen drying
and allows for faster and cleaner prints.
When using Enviro-Line Water Based Inks, you'll need to use a water resistant
emulsion like
SWR-3.
If you do not use this type of emulsion then your stencil will break down prematurely
and you'll have to setup your screen all over again. If you're just getting into
screen printing, you may consider getting a complete

For use on cotton, poly/cotton blend, paper.
MESH: 80 to 305 (156-200 Mesh for most fabrics, 230-280 for fine detail,
230-305 for paper)STENCIL/EMULSION: A water proof direct emulsion should
be used for optimal performance.
SWR-3.
SQUEEGEE: 60-80 Durometer square edge. (Ryonet recommends
60
or 70
Durometer)
PRINTING: For best performance heat the pallets to 140 degrees F. before
printing. For light color fabric use Matsui ECO-Series RC through a high mesh screen.
For dark color fabric the use of 301 Transparent White as an under-base. For a softer
hand use Matsui’s DSPS Discharge as an underbase. Screens should be flooded if printing
is stopped for any period of time. When loading water base ink into your screens,
use a good amount of ink in order insure the ink doesn't dry in your screen. Print
with a pull stroke for best results. Back flood screen with a lot of ink gently
so ink is not pressed through the design, you shouldn't be able to see your screen
or image through your back flood.
The great thing about all the PC Colors in this kit is that they also work
to pigment and color mix discharge, so all you need is to add the discharge
white base and agent.
DRYING/CURING: The 301 Enviro-Series ink must be cured for 2.5 to 3 minutes
at 300 to 320 degrees F under typical infrared heat.
Curing Options: Water based inks cure differently from standard plastisol
inks. While plastisol inks cure with infrared once reaching 320 degrees, water based
inks cure best with air movement and heat. Air movement is preferred to drive water
out of the ink and blow away steam so heat can cure water base pigment properly.
Without hot air movement across the ink, water base inks will take much longer to
cure. In good air flow, water base inks can cure in under 1 minute while it may
take 2.5 to 3 minutes in a standard infrared dryer. (Paper can be allowed to air
dry)
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST WASH TESTING AND DOCUMENTING CURE TIMES
BEFORE BEGINNING PRODUCTION.
| Level |
Method |
Picture |
Process |
| Basic |
Heat Gun |
|
Heat guns actually work fairly well for curing low quantities
of water base prints. Hot air from the gun forces water from the ink and
curing can actually be seen as the ink dries. |
| Starter |
Infrared Flash |
|
IR flashes work marginally well. Take shirt off pallet,
raise flash head up 4-5 inches above the shirt, cure for 2-3 minutes until
ink is temped at 320 degrees. Wash test before production. |
| Intermediate |
Infrared Conveyor |
|
IR conveyors work decent for low quantity production.
Raise conveyor gates to allow steam to exit dryer, bump temp down slightly,
slow belt speed down, allow to dwell 2-3 minutes. |
| Professional |
Forced Air Flash |
|
Forced air is preferred for lower production or flashing.
For a final cure, lift shirt from pallet to allow air to circulate under
the garment. Cure for 60-90 seconds. Conduct Wash Tests. |
| Production |
Air Flow Conveyor Dryer |
|
Optimal for WB Inks, air flow gas or IR dryers can cure
in 60-90 seconds depending on chamber length. Air knifes remove water from
ink and IR or Gas heat cure garment. |
CLEAN UP: Card off excessive ink and dispose of in trash. Use Sprayway
Water Base
Screen Opener to break down ink then wipe residue from screens, screen frames,
squeegees and any surfaces in contact with ink. Left over residue can also be washed
in the sink with water after soaking.
