Description
Avient™ Specialty Inks INFINITE FX SCULPTURE BASE is specially formulated for high density printing with a hard texture feel. Printed images can have either a smooth or textured surface depending on mesh counts and printing parameters. Sculpture Base controls the smallest design details–even with high density printing.
Highlights:
- Smooth or textured hard surface and excellent edge definition
- Excellent performance with providing structure and shape for HD prints
- Tintable for infinite color combinations
- Excellent adhesion to fabrics, stretch properties, and wash durability
- Use by itself or intermix with other Infinite FX Bases for unlimited design effects
- Suitable for high density or conventional flat screens
Printing Tips:
- Use consistent, high-tensioned screen mesh and sharp edged squeegees for best print results. Recommended mesh counts can vary depending on particle size
- For best HD results, use open mesh counts with 200 – 400 micron capillary film and print-flashprint. Use a heavy flood to fully fill the open areas of the stencil with ink then print with medium squeegee pressure
- Best when printed over a flash-dried underbase but suitable to be printed direct
- Adjust off-contact to imprint mesh patterns into Sculpture Base for textured feel and unique design effect
- Tintable with plastisol colorants. See Pigment Loading section for suggested starting tinting percentages. Reduce the amount of white colorant in the formula as specialty base will lighten the color
- Sculpture Base is commendable in keeping shape and providing structure for HD print designs. Use Sculpture Base by itself or combine with other Infinite FX bases for a unique effect
