Directions for Use

Mixing

  • Stir base well before use
  • Mix 90% base + 10% Matsui Silicone Catalyst
  • Add pigments if desired
    • Up to 10% Yama Silicone Pigments
  • Mix until uniform and smooth
  • Allow 5–10 minutes rest time to release air bubbles
  • Only mix what you will print within 4–6 hours

Printing

  • Use 60–110 mesh for puff effect
  • Print 1–3 strokes depending on desired loft
  • Flash gently if stacking layers
    • ~220°F (104°C) for 5–8 seconds
  • Keep screens flooded during pauses
  • Avoid excessive flashing — it can reduce puff height

Tip: For bold puff logos, print a smooth silicone base first, then print puff layer on top.


Curing

  • Cure at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 1–2 minutes
  • Ensure ink film reaches >250°F (121°C) internal temp
  • Allow full dwell time for proper expansion

✅ Full cure = maximum puff loft & durability
❌ Under-curing = weak puff & potential cracking


Best Practices

✅ Print tests to dial in desired puff height
✅ Stir during print session to maintain consistency
✅ Use lower mesh for more dramatic puff
✅ Ideal for silicone transfers or direct print

❌ Do NOT mix with plastisol or water-based inks
❌ Do NOT over-flash before final cure — will flatten puff
