How to skin feel super matte forward silicone heat transfer?
Preparation before forward silicone heat transfer printing:
Silicone ink PET films: Matte film
Mesh number： 120-200 (48-80T) , Mesh(screen film )thickness 0.1-0.2MM,it is depends on printing Artworks.
Squeegee：65-80 degree
orward silicone transfer printing process with skin feel super matte effect:
1 Hot melt glue FY-HP-01G print for 8 layers.
Hot melt glue FY-HP-01G 50G
Thinner FY-5# 10-15G 20-30%
Flash by room temp or by 80-100 degree.
To mix 20-30% hot melt glue thinner FY-5# to dilute the glue to avoid choking the mesh when printing. If mix with more glue thinner then need print more layers. The glue thinner can be also used to wash the mesh after glue printing.
2 Transfer crossing linker 2 layers :
Silicone crossing linker FY-2900A 50G
Silicone crossing linker catalyst FY-2900B 5G 10%
Flash by 100 degree.
TIPS: The effective printing time after mixing with agent FY-2900B is more than 1 hour not reach 2 hours, so please reasonably mix crossing linker and crossing linker curing agent to avoid waste.
3 Clear printing 2-16 layers for high density
HD Transfer silicone FY-1320 100G
