Note: Metallic silicone inks reflect heat — slower belt speed / longer dwell time may be required.

Mixing Instructions

Stir well before use
Mix 90% ink : 10% Matsui Silicone Catalyst
Mix thoroughly until smooth & uniform
Allow 5–10 minutes to release air bubbles
Only catalyze what you will print within 4–6 hours

Optional Tinting:
Add up to 5% Yama Silicone Pigment to alter shade (silver → gunmetal, etc.)

Printing Instructions

Use lower mesh (80–120) for maximum metallic effect
Print 1–2 strokes, flood screen between prints
Flash between layers if needed
- ~220°F (5–8 seconds)
Maintain ink motion to avoid settling of metallic flakes
For dyed polyester or sublimated garments, use a silicone blocker base

Pro Tip: Print over a smooth silicone base layer for brighter metallic pop.

Curing Instructions

Cure at 300–320°F for 1–2 minutes
Ensure ink film reaches >250°F internal
Allow proper dwell time — metallic requires more heat penetration

✅ Perform stretch & wash tests
❌ Avoid under-curing (may dull shimmer & reduce durability)

Best Practices

✅ Stir periodically — keeps metallic flake suspended
✅ Store sealed — prevents dust from dulling finish
✅ Test settings for garment type & dryer length

❌ Do not mix with non-silicone inks
❌ Do not exceed recommended pigment load
