Description

Triangle STA-True Low Bleed 1706 EX Excel White

Polyester and 50/50 blends are the fabrics most likely to bleed — the garment’s dye migrates up into your ink and turns a crisp white pink, gray or yellow. Triangle 1706 EX Excel White is a STA-True low-bleed plastisol engineered specifically to stop that. It’s the polyester-ready version of Triangle’s popular Excel White: a bright, high-opacity white that resists dye migration on performance wear, team jerseys, poly hoodies and 50/50 tees, with minimal show-through on dark garments. It prints smooth and creamy on both manual and high-speed automatic presses, clears the screen cleanly, and works as an underbase for full-color prints or as a bold stand-alone white.

Which Triangle White Should You Use?

All of our Triangle white plastisols compared — pick by fabric and how much bleed resistance or opacity you need. Click any white to shop it.

White	Best fabric	Bleed resistance	Opacity	Best for
Triangle 1701 Phoenix White	100% cotton & 50/50	Low bleed	High	Everyday low-bleed white & underbase for cotton and blends
Triangle 1706 Excel White	100% cotton & 50/50	Low bleed	High	Smooth, creamy all-around white for cotton and blends
Triangle 1706 EX Excel White THIS PAGE	50/50 & 100% polyester	Low bleed (poly-tuned)	High	Performance & poly garments — the poly version of Excel White
Triangle 1707 Superior White	50/50 & 100% polyester	Maximum low bleed	High	The toughest dye-migrating polyester & sublimated fabrics
Triangle 1709 Pearl White	Cotton & blends	Standard	Highest opacity	Bright, high-opacity one-hit whites on cotton and blends

Rule of thumb: cotton & blends → Phoenix, Excel or Pearl (for max opacity); 50/50 & polyester → 1706 EX Excel or Superior (for the worst dye migration). Always test on your exact garment.

Why Printers Choose 1706 EX

Beats dye migration

STA-True low-bleed chemistry keeps whites bright on the polyester and 50/50 fabrics that bleed the most.

High opacity

Covers dark garments with minimal show-through — great as a one-hit white or a bright underbase.

Prints creamy

Smooth, buttery consistency loads the screen and clears cleanly on manual or auto presses.

Durable wash-fast finish

Cured correctly, it’s tough and wash-durable print after print.

Printing Tips

Setup

Mesh: 86–156 (lower mesh = more opacity)
Squeegee: 70 durometer, medium pressure
Print / flash / print for maximum opacity
Use a low-bleed white — don’t over-thin the ink

Curing

Cure temperature: 320°F
Cure time: about 1.5 minutes (verify with your dryer)
Proper cure is what locks in low-bleed performance
Do a wash + stretch test on new fabrics

Fighting bad bleeders? Low-bleed inks reduce migration but cannot stop it on every fabric — hot-split polyester and cheap sublimated blends are the worst. For the toughest cases, step up to 1707 Superior White, print a heavier white, and keep cure temps as low as the ink allows. Always test the specific garment first.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Triangle 1706 EX Excel White – Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1706 EX Excel White for?

It’s a STA-True low-bleed plastisol white for 50/50 blends and 100% polyester — performance wear, team uniforms and poly hoodies — where dye migration would otherwise ruin a plain white.

How is it different from regular 1706 Excel White?

1706 Excel White is tuned for 100% cotton and 50/50 blends; 1706 EX is the polyester version with stronger bleed resistance for poly and 50/50. See the comparison table above.

1706 EX or 1707 Superior White — which do I pick?

Both handle 50/50 and polyester. Reach for 1707 Superior White when you’re fighting the worst bleeders (hot-split poly, sublimated blends); 1706 EX is the excellent all-around poly white for most jobs.

What white do I use on 100% cotton?

Use 1701 Phoenix White or 1706 Excel White for cotton and blends, or 1709 Pearl White when you want maximum one-hit opacity.

What temperature does it cure at?

320°F for about 1.5 minutes — always verify full cure with a temperature probe or dryer test strip. Proper cure is what keeps the low-bleed working.

Can I use it as an underbase?

Yes — it makes a bright, high-opacity underbase for full-color prints on dark poly and 50/50, and it prints well as a stand-alone white too.

What mesh and squeegee should I start with?

Start around 86–156 mesh (lower for more opacity) with a 70-durometer squeegee at medium pressure, and print/flash/print for the brightest white.

What sizes does it come in?

Quart, gallon and 5-gallon, plus full pallets (16 or 48 pails) for high-volume shops.
