WM - PIM (Pantone Ink Matching System)
Pantone Book
Plastisol Mixing System is the next generation of inks for mixing colors. With the introduction of Gold color, the matching of the Pantone yellows are made simple. The (PIM) system contains 10 primary High Opacity colors and uses only 6 Fluorescent. All colors have wet on wet properties. Recipe book is available for creating shades. With the uses of enhancer additives special effects become simple. Whether matching Pantone or a buyer’s special color, this system will make matching simple. (PIM) System will reduce overall cost. The easy of printing will increase production speeds.
Application and Substrate: Mixing colors can be printed directly on cotton, cotton/polyester or polyester fabrics.
When printing on a bleeding fabric use color with a low bleed white underlay.
When printing on nylon fabric use Long Life Bonding Agent (add 10 to 15% by weight).
Stencil: Direct, Indirect or Capillary Films
Recommended Mesh: 86ct - 305ct (34t - 120t t/cm)
Modifiers/Additives:
Wash up: Mineral spirit, Press Wash or Ink Wash.
Fusion or Curing: 320 F/160 C for 1 to 1 ½ minutes. If running a higher oven temperature, the dwell time in the oven can be reduced. Fusing Machines or Heat Presses use 190 C/390 F for 8 seconds. Printers must check for curing of the inks on their fabrics.
Special notes: PVC inks are thermoplastic compounds that require heat for fusion or curing. If ink rubs off on a white cloth, temperature and or dwell time should be increase. Rubs should not be hard. Plastisol inks do not wet crock. Do not dry clean. Always check fabric for Migrating dyes.
