Excalibur’s 1550PF Series offer printers the ultimate in opacity, bleed-resistance and durability for direct printing 100% nylon, 100% polyester and any high-stretch performance wear fabrics. SportsPro's unique formulation cures at 290 degrees Fahrenheit offering printers a cure for dye migration on most 100% polyester fabrics. For best results either a double stroke or a print/flash/print technique should be utilized. 1533PF is manufactured with the same base and pigments as the 1550PF Series. Both series offer a combined colour range of 40 of the most popular collegiate and athletic colours.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Gel Temperature: Ink will surface gel at 220° F (105° C).
Curing: Prints will fully cure when the entire ink film reaches 290°F (160°C) for at least 15 seconds.
Heat Transfers: 1533PF and 1550PF can be used in printing cold peel transfers.
Mesh: For direct printing a 60-110/inch (24T-43Tcm) may be used.
Stencil: Any stencil compatible with plastisol inks may be used.
Modification: Because plastisol inks are thixotropic and can body up during storage always stir ink thoroughly prior to print or adding reducers. If necessary 1501PF Curable Reducer may be added increase printability and help clean the ink from the screen. CAUTION: Adding too much 1501PF Curable Reducer will reduce coverage and opacity.
Squeegee: 70 durometer or 90/70/90 triple durometer blades are recommended.
Printing Techniques: A print/flash/print technique should be utilized to achieve desired opacity, bleed-resitance and durability on athletic uniforms especially uniforms that are to be worn in athletic contests.
