FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Triangle 1701 Phoenix White – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Phoenix White best for?

A bright, low-bleed white on 100% cotton and 50/50 blends — as a stand-alone white or an underbase for full-color prints.

Is it good on polyester?

It handles 50/50 blends well; for 100% polyester and the worst bleeders, use 1706 EX Excel or 1707 Superior White.

Phoenix vs Pearl White?

Phoenix is the versatile low-bleed white; 1709 Pearl White is tuned for the highest one-hit opacity on cotton and blends.

What temperature does it cure at?

320°F — always verify full cure with a probe or test strip; proper cure keeps the low-bleed working.

What mesh should I use?

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

What sizes are available?

Quart, gallon and 5-gallon, plus full pallets for high-volume shops.
