3 TIPS FOR SUCCESS WITH THESE INKS

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MESH COUNT

For both the Matte Black and Quick White, stick with a mesh count between 156 and 230 to get the best results. This will help balance ink deposit and detail for smooth, even prints

WATCH YOUR FLASH TIMES

Quick White is all about speed, but keep an eye on your flash times to avoid over-flashing, which can lead to cracking. Set your flash dryer to the right temperature for consistent results.

TEST YOUR INKS ON DIFFERENT FABRICS

While both inks work great on cotton and blends, testing your design on different fabric types will help you dial in the perfect settings before going into full production. Always check how the ink cures on synthetic materials to ensure long-lasting prints.
