FEATURES
AXEON™ Soft Hand Black 1817 works as a printing black to achieve super soft hand prints.
Soft Hand Black 1817 promotes excellent penetration into fabrics when printing through fine mesh counts, and is excellent for all-over prints.
Soft Hand Black 1817 provides a deep black color that looks and feels similar to waterbase prints.
SPOT FLASHING
Soft Hand Black 1817 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 will occur in the dryer. Failure to fuse ink properly may cause cracking, poor adhesion and poor wash fastness.
