Solar Change Plastisol Ink

Light Sensitive Plastisol Ink for Ever Changing Images

Achieve Dramatic Color Effects Everytime!

Can Be Used with Excalibur 600 Series Process Inks

Solar Change Plastisol Inks are light sensitive and will change from clear to color when introduced to an ultra violet light source such as sunlight, black lights etc. Solar Change Inks are actually dyes, not pigments. Solar Change Inks will absorb light. In some cases Solar Change colors can be mixed with 600 Series to achieve color-to-different color change. e.g. Mixing 600 Series Process Cyan and Solar Change Yellow will change from Blue to Green after UV exposure.

Solar Change Colors: Blue, Purple and Yellow

Technical Information for Solar Change Plastisol Ink

Important: Because Solar Change Plastisol Ink is not exposed to UV light, press setup will be more difficult than a normal screen printing job. To resolve this situation, the best solution is to set up a black light to make the ink become visible. Testing is strongly recommended.

Sceen Mesh: Use a screen mesh up to 160/inch (64T cm) polyester for best results.

Stencil: Most types of stencils may be used for screen printing Solar Change Plastisol Inks.

Squeegee: Medium Durometer squeegee is recommended.

Drying: Will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches a temperature of 320°F (160°C).

Ink Modification: For softer hand, limited amounts of 502 Reducer may be used to achieve the desired consistency. As you increase the amount used, opacity will diminish quickly. Excess amounts may increase curing time.

Ink Cleanup: Use Enviro Series 2000 Green or Enviro Series TR Blend.
