Description

Inktek SE 901.5 QuickSilver SE Plastisol Ink Key Features:

Chrome-like metallic finish — brighter and smoother than standard silver
High opacity for bold coverage on dark fabrics
Ultra-fine metallic flake for a clean, smooth print surface
Soft hand feel compared to conventional metallic inks
Excellent printability on manual & automatic presses
Strong durability and wash performance
Ideal for premium retail, fashion, streetwear, & athletic apparel

Recommended Use

For maximum reflectivity and brightness, print through low mesh counts and maintain proper ink deposit. Stir well before and during printing to ensure metallic flakes remain suspended.

Mesh Recommendation

86–125 mesh (34–48T) for optimal coverage and shine

Cure Temperature

Fully cure at 320°F (160°C) ensuring ink film reaches full internal cure temperature.

Pro Tips

Use a smooth underbase for brightest results
Stir frequently to maintain flake suspension
Test on production garments before full runs

Note: Metallic inks reflect heat and may require longer cure times. We recommend increasing dryer temperature and slowing belt speed when curing. Always test to confirm the print is fully cured throughout the ink film.

Printing Guidelines

Print through lower mesh counts for maximum shine
Use a smooth underbase (white or gray recommended) to increase reflectivity
Stir frequently to maintain metallic flake suspension
Print 1–2 strokes depending on deposit and coverage

Curing Guidelines

Cure at 320°F (160°C) until ink film reaches full temperature
Because metallic flakes reflect heat, longer or slower cure cycle may be needed
Verify cure with stretch test and wash test

Pro Tip: Raise tunnel dryer temp slightly & slow belt speed for metallic systems.

Storage & Handling

Store closed at 65–90°F (18–32°C)

Best Practices

✅ Test cure on every new garment type
✅ Use smooth underbase to maximize chrome effect
✅ Stir during production
✅ Use low mesh for more shine

❌ Do not add excessive reducer — can dull metallic finish
❌ Avoid overheating mesh during flashing — can thicken ink
