Description
Matsui Yama Mat Base — Custom Matte Silicone Color
A matte finish reads as premium — no glare, just clean, sophisticated color. The Matsui Yama Mat Base lets you mix your own matte silicone colors: add 3–10% Yama pigments, catalyze at 10%, and print. It cures to a smooth, flat, soft-touch surface with the same extreme elongation and rebound as the rest of the Yama line, so your matte prints flex with the garment and survive washing without cracking. PVC- and phthalate-free, and engineered for screen stability and consistent printing on high-stretch polyester, spandex and blends. The go-to base when you want tonal, understated, high-end results.
