The addition of Epic Hugger Catalyst to ink at 10% by weight is recommended when printing on waterproofed satin jackets and/or other waterproofed nylon materials.
When printing on nylon material that has been treated to repel water, the waterproofing must be removed. Remove waterproofing by wiping down the print area with rubbing alcohol or acetone. Check for penetration of the waterproofing with small drops of water. The water drops will spread and penetrate the fabric if the waterproof coating is properly removed.
Epic Hugger Catalyst activates upon exposure to moisture in the air. The amount of moisture exposure determines the shelf life of the mixed ink. The container of activated ink/pot life of the ink generally ranges from 4-8 hours.
