hello, I been having a problem printing white ink on a dark shirt. and one of my coworker just recently move here in the US said he uses tulco ink which works really good. is there any supplier here in the US in order for me to order it? or if not what's the best white ink brand i can use and what's the mesh settings? i really need help i just started printing and 2 of my clients both want white ink on their dark shirt. thankssss
Hi! I am not so sure if tulco inks will be available there in the US.
What I am sure of is that you may find much better inks there. If you are having problems with printing white inks on black colored garment it is probably a matter of procedure and application.
(You never really state what your problem is.... sigh).
Anyway, I can only advise you to use mesh 80-100. This will certainly deposit ink to its thickest on garment. 1 coat will not be enough but applying more coats will achieve you much satisfactory print. (this is done by drying the coats before applying the second... and so on).
You can also ask your ink supplier for assistance on how the prints can be achieve accordingly.
sir Jsf, yung Brand po ba ng tulco na rubberized opaque kailangan po ba ng 2 coats kapag sa Black shirt magpiprint?
Sir, it should be more than 2 coats. Specially if the application of printing will be applied on dark colored garments in purpose of bringing the ink color more vibrant above from the color of the fabric. Sometime 2 coats is not enough, it can be too thin resulting to dye migration. With that type of ink, you need more coats to thicken the print to make the effect of the ink a rubberized print.
wow bilis nang reply.. thanks sir j... eh sir maiba po ako ng tanong,,, yung pong mga design na may fade effect,, panu po ba tinatatak yun? sa paghahagod po ba ng ink yun o sa mismong screen nakadesign na talaga yung fade effect?
