EasyArt2 Professional color separation and artwork creation system www.wilflexeasyart.com Screen Printing Guide Screens: The mesh count of your screens will depend on the Halftone Lpi count of your artwork. Dark Shirts Light Shirts = White Base, Yellow, Red, Magenta, Gray, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Dark Brown and Highlight White. = Yellow, Red, Magenta, Gray, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Dark Brown and Black. (NB: Black can also be printed first on some designs) When printing Grayscale onto white shirts you will use the same screens as you would for black shirts only you will use the Medium Gray ink on your Dark Gray screen the Light Gray ink on your Medium Gray screen and the White Gray ink on your Light Gray screen. = Light Gray, White Gray, Medium Gray, Highlight White, Black. Light Shirts You can get quite different effects by changing the print order try a few different options there really is no one absolute correct order. Dark Shirts = White Base, Medium Gray, Light Gray, Dark Gray and Highlight White. Simulated Grayscale. Simulated Process Print Order The same applies to the Sepia images. We recommend for the best result that you output your artwork with a halftone screen of 55 Lpi (lines per inch) at an angle of 22.5 use 180 (or higher for automatic press) screen mesh for your "White Base" and 305 for all other colors (metric = 62 mesh white base and 120 mesh for all colors). If you output your artwork at a lower Lpi 45 - 50 (the screen angle remains the same) you should use a 180 screen mesh for your "White Base" and 280 for all other colors. Inks Flash Curing - Generally you will flash after the White Base on Dark Shirts and before the Black on light shirts but you can flash anywhere the design requires it.

The same applies to the sepia tone colors. Wilflex EasyArt www.wilflexeasyart.com 65 Description The Wilflex MX mixing system is an easy-to-use, easy-to-mix color matching system with 15 intermixable colors that enables printers to mix all of the EasyArt colors and produce simulations of coated and un-coated Pantone Color Formula guide colors on white and dark (with white under base) garments. MX inks produce soft-hand inks for high production, wet-on-wet printing, offering a matt finish and improved crock resistence. Printers Parameters Substrates 100% cotton, cotton blends, some synthetics Bleed resistance None, use BR under base Mesh 156 - 305, t/in (43 - 120 t/cm) Squeegee 60 to 90 durometer, straight edge blade Emulsion Conventional direct or capillary film Cure Temp 320 F (160 C) entire film Extender 10150FNS Finesse, but modification may alter color and performance Reducer Curable reducer #10070, but modification may alter color and performance Storage 65 - 90 F (18 - 32 C) avoid direct sun, use within 1 year of receipt Wash-Up Wilflex screen wash Health & Safety Data available on request Color Specification MX formulas were printed through a 156 t/in (62 t/cm) mesh screen on white, 100 percent cotton fabric and viewed under cool white flourescent (4100k illuminant) These specifications were used internally at PolyOne for all Pantone simulation color approvals. Similar print application, screen mesh, squeegee profile and light specifications should be implemented in your shop to ensure comparable results. We recommend that you begin a color library of your prints. Mixing Guidelines MX formulas that reproduce PANTONE® color simulations have been calculated by weight and are presented as a total of 1,000 grams in the Formulation Guide. The final volume of ink produced from these formulas will vary according to color and the specific gravity of the ink concerned, but all formulas will make approximately 1 quart/1 liter. Wilflex recommends that MX Mixing Inks be weighed on scales accurate to +/- 0.1 gram. Proof formulas prior to commencing any production run to ensure color accuracy, as the final color is dependent on print technique, mesh count and substrate used. PolyOne and its associated companies assume no responsibility for the actual color achieved. SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Inks produced from the MX Mixing System are translucent to opaque. When blended according to formulations, resulting colors vary in opacity from translucent to semi-opaque. Colors will reproduce best on white or light fabrics. For bleed resistance, an underbase white, such as 11999XW Xtreme White, 11480HT Bright Tiger or 11195MVP MVP White must be used. For consistency, all formulas provided were printed through 156 t/in (62 t/cm) mesh screen on white, 100 percent cotton fabric for color approval. Wilflex MX Mixing Inks can, however, be 31 Back Next Contents printed through a range of meshes between 110T and 305 t/in (43-120 t/cm). Variation in screen mesh and ink deposit can result in variation in depth of color and opacity. All MX Mixing Inks colors were developed using Genesis technology and can be printed weton- wet with exceptional resistance to build-up. Perform fusion tests before production. Failure to cure ink properly can result in poor wash fastness, inferior adhesion, unacceptable durability, and increased likelihood of dye migration. Testing procedures for plastisol fusion are outlined in the Wilflex User's Manual. Wilflex MX Color mixing system Use this system to mix the EasyArt colors (can also use PC Express mixing system) Wilflex EasyArt www.wilflexeasyart.com 66 Stir plastisols prior to printing. This product has a unique viscosity. Upon opening a container that has been unused for several days or weeks, it will appear slightly thick. Stir to easily restore the creamy texture. Do not dry clean, bleach, iron the printed area. Any application not referenced in this product information bulletin should be pre-tested or consultation uploads/Industriel/ screenprinting-guide.pdf
