FEATURES
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 works as a low-build mixing/extender base that can be
mixed with finished colors for softer prints, or with pigment dispersions or color
concentrates to match almost any color.
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 has fast shearing action for higher press speeds.
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 exhibits an extremely short body for easy printing
without build-up.
SPOT FLASHING
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 will spot dry, with a very low after flash tack. Dwell time
is dependent on the spot dryer used. In some cases, you may have to lower the heat of
the spot cure unit because too much heat may actually make the ink tacky. When you
spot dry, you are only partially fusing or gelling the surface of the ink. The ink should be
just dry to the touch, with no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing the underprint
may cause inter-coat adhesion problems with the inks printed on top. Final fusing or
curing should occur in the dryer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 can be added to 6100 Series, 7500 Series (RFU and CC),
7600 Series, and 900 Series inks for improved hand, cost and printability. Mix with opaque
colors to reduce cost, opacity and increase color clarity.
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 may be used with other color systems, provided that
proper print testing is done prior to actual production run.
For white or light fabrics use as a base and add 5% to 25%, by weight, of a finished
color or color concentrate to create a very soft feel similar to a water base print.
Printing through fine mesh counts can improve the feel for a super soft effect.
Matte Medium Mixing Base 7010 is not a low bleed plastisol ink and is not recommended
for use on poly/cotton or 100% polyester fabrics that may be prone to dye migration.
Adding any reducers or additives can lower the bleed resistance, opacity, or increase
cure times of ink. STIR the ink prior to printing on press and after addition of reducers or
additives.
Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production
run.
