Looks awesome Dennis.  Were you staying up late printing, or just the posting about it part?   ;)
How was it with the porthole mesh?  Similar handling to plastisol, or was it easier/harder to deal with the holes?


Can't wait to toss some of that stuff in a screen.

I ended up printing until 11 PM. I had to finish one order and while I had everything going (Dryer) I decided to do a test print.

This prints really easy, nothing like plastisol. Or maybe like plastisol with a bunch of reducer. No issues with the holes whatsoever.
I mixed about 160 grams of ink with 3% of reducer and I had just a bit to throw away after I was done with 16 full backs and 20 left chests.

6 hours on white. I believe that Pierre said 6 hours, and about 1.5 hours on black

ScreenFoo,    Pretty sure those are just plain old t-shirts... I think the print was replicating the port hole mesh look......  ;D

mesh requires a P/F/P to come out smooth. 'did not care for the look with just one hit . . . Nice and smooth with two.

WOW, WOW, WOW...........

Printed about 20 poly shirts with this ink. WOW
155 mesh about 30 N/cm, two swipes with medium pressure (no flash) and done. Manual machine.
Like the feel of 155 better than 110. I did the left chest with 110 mesh and full back with 155.

Cured them @ 270-280 degrees. I baked one by mistake @340 and I will see what will happen to id after a day or two.

Love it!!!!

Awesome!  Thanks for posting.  As we are getting closer to full commercialization of the RFU colors ....... if anyone would care to be cited in a testimonial, I would love to hear from you!  Please email me directly at rcoleman@nazdar.com.

I was able to do about 4 test prints on Thursday before I got pulled away.  I like the ink a lot. I just printed a few small left chests on 100% poly and although it doesn't seem like I got the opacity Dennis managed to get without flashing, I was still impressed.  It was a one hit white but it was borderline and not a knockout white like Dennis's pics look.  I didn't turn the dryer down from normal plastisol and ran the poly shirt through and it did bleed but it was a very thin layer of ink and getting up to 330+ inside the chamber. I can't wait to try a full sized image on the auto with this ink, I think it could be a game changer and I can tell you that I am ready for one.

Just got my package.
Hoping for a softball team order and planning on pointing them towards a dark poly shirt, while up to now have been doing the opposite!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Thanks Sam looking forward to more pics.

Alan- you really want to keep the dryer temp down on the 280 range. 300 seems to be a go/no go point for many fabrics regarding due sublimation points.
