Your percentage of Aquarius™ Activator ZF powder should be based on the weight of the Aquarius™ Plasticharge Additive only, Not the combined weight of the ink and additive.
Water base inks can dry in the screen, Aquarius™ Plasticharge Additive is no exception. It is helpful to mist the air above the screen with a spray bottle of distilled water as needed in order to maintain humidity.
The printer must test any color mixed with Aquarius™ Plasticharge Additive on the garment prior to production to determine if the dyes in that garment will discharge.
When mixing Plasticharge reds, it is often beneficial to reduce the amount of Activator ZF powder by 1%.
