FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Matsui EasyPrint White different from other Matsui white inks?
EasyPrint White 301 prints through mesh counts up to 225/inch — the highest of any Matsui performance white ink.
- Kombat White, Acrylicon White, and Simple White all max out at 160 mesh.
- Stretch White and 301W-10-4 reach 150–180 mesh.
EasyPrint White achieves its high-mesh capability through a medium-opacity formulation that deposits a thinner, softer layer — ideal for fine detail and maximum softness on performance fabrics.
Can I use EasyPrint White on dark garments?
Yes, but understand EasyPrint White is medium-opacity by design.
On dark cotton: Use a print–flash–print technique for better coverage.
On dark polyester:
- Print an Under Base Blocker first
- Flash
- Then apply EasyPrint White
If you need maximum one-hit opacity, use Kombat White or Stretch White.
What mesh count should I use with EasyPrint White?
EasyPrint White prints through mesh counts up to 225/inch (89/cm).
- 200–225 mesh — Maximum detail and thinnest deposit
- 156–180 mesh — Balance of coverage and detail
Mesh count determines deposit thickness, opacity, and hand feel.
Is EasyPrint White good for athletic wear and Dri-Fit?
Yes. EasyPrint White was specifically designed for performance and high-stretch fabrics including Dri-Fit, polyester blends, and athletic garments.
Its elasticity allows the print to stretch with the fabric without cracking, and its thin deposit maintains moisture-wicking performance.
Do I need to adjust viscosity before printing?
No. EasyPrint White prints straight from the bucket.
If needed:
- Use RV Additive (1–3%) to thin
- Use Thickener B (0.25–1%) to thicken
What additives should I use with EasyPrint White?
For most jobs, use Quick Additive at 6–9%.
For individual control:
- Retarder MG (1–5%) — Open time
- Fixer WF-N (1–5%) — Wash fastness
- Softener MG (1–4%) — Fabric penetration
Can I mix custom colors with EasyPrint White?
Yes. Add up to 15% Matsui Neo Pigments to create custom colors while maintaining softness and elasticity.
What is the cure temperature?
- Cure at 320°F (160°C)
- Flash at 160°F (71°C)
Always verify garment surface temperature with a probe or heat strips.
Should I use EasyPrint White or Kombat White?
Choose EasyPrint White when you need:
