Screen Making

This product is a low viscosity, water soluble green block-out designed to fill the open areas of the screen not covered by the emulsion. Use for masking several designs on a screen until ready to print or for multi-color work.

I   When the screen is dry and free of contaminants, pour Quik-Dry® on the print side of the screen. Spread over the open areas of the screen until completely filled.

II  Touch up all defects, including heavy blobs which tend to dry on the outside and pop off or smear during printing. Where very fine meshes are used, you may reduce the viscosity by adding a little water.

III Remove blockout with water.

ProChem® DXP PINK is a fast drying dual cure photo-emulsion and is recommended for textile printing with Solvent inks, UV ink systems, Plastisol, and short run Water Based inks. ProChem® DXP PINK also has a very high solid content which makes for stronger durability and better resolution. Diazo is added normally, first by adding room temperature water, agitating, and then adding the solution to the emulsion. Allow the emulsion to stand for at least 2 hours to ensure any air bubbles introduced during mixing are released. Reclaiming ProChem® DXP PINK is easy with CCI Stencil Removers, which are available in concentrate and ready-to-use formulas.

INK WASHOUT AT THE SINK

Card excessive ink from the screen. Apply product to the ink side of the screen. Use a non-abrasive scrub brush or pad to agitate ink on both sides of the screen. Starting at the bottom of the screen, high pressure water rinse all ink residue from the screen. *Check with your local sanitation district regarding limitations on inks that are to rinsed into the drain.

RECIRCULATING WASH

Card excessive ink from the screen. This product can be continuously re-circulated until product becomes too heavily soiled with solids. Used product may be filtered and re-used.

I   Apply GB-2000 to the ink side of the screen. Allow the coating to penetrate up to 5 minutes. For tougher stains, brush product on both sides of the screen.

II  Low pressure rinse (flood rinse with tap water pressure), removing all chemicals from the screen. This step protects the employees from being splashed back during high pressure rinse.

III High pressure water rinse to remove any remaining residue.

WHITE OUT is a paste ghost/image stain remover. WHITE OUT is designed for the removal of cured ink stains.

I   Apply WHITE OUT to the ink side of the screen. Allow the coating to penetrate up to 5 minutes. For tougher stains, brush product on both sides of the screen.

II   Low pressure rinse (flood rinse with tap water pressure), removing all chemicals from the screen. This step protects the employees from caustic being splashed back during high pressure rinse.

III   High pressure water rinse to remove any remaining residue.
