Application Procedure
Aquasol Aquaplas CMYK inks can be used as supplied without further dilution. Aquasol Aquaplas CMYK
are thixotropic and can become more viscous when left standing for prolonged periods of time. However,
the viscosity will reduce with stirring or agitation during the usual process of printing. Aquasol Aquaplas
CMYK are suitable for silkscreen prints with screen mesh sizes of up to 200. It is possible to use Aquasol
Aquaplas CMYK for wet-on-wet machine silkscreen prints. However, it is advisable to flash cure Aquasol
Aquaplas White for base prints on dark fabric before printing Aquasol Aquaplas CMYK wet-on-wet. It is
imperative to cure the prints for ~2 min. at 140-160oC to achieve complete curing. Complete curing will be
indicated by good wash fastness.
Storage
Do not exceed twelve months from date of manufacture. Protect from frost (>5oC). Keep lids tightly
closed at all times after use.
