When it comes to choosing the best ink for ribbon of polyester and nylon, many factors come into play such as durability, colorfastness, and adherence to the fabric. After doing many tests , silicone ink is considered to be the best ink for printing on polyester and nylon. Silicone ink is known for its durability and flexibility, making it ideal for use on fabrics that are exposed to vigorous use or constant movement.YR silicone can supply you the silicone ink with self-drying and low cure temperature.Whick silicone ink you will use depends on your webbing.If it's good heat resistance,you can use low cure temperature silicone ink,such as crosslinker XG-360Z-3AB,high elasticity silicone XG-130AB-1,glossy silicone XG-399-50,matte silicone XG-866M-6+.If the ribbon will be retracted during baking,you must use the self-drying silicone XG-20AH-1,glossy silicone XG-399-2,matte silicone XG-136M-1.After screen printing silicone ink from YR silicone on ribbon,you needn't bake it.It's able to be cured at room temperature.Its mixture ratio:10:1-add 100g silicone ink base with 10g catalyst.
Brush teeth print with silicone ink:
When it comes to printing silicone ink on polyester webbing, special printing techniques such as brush teeth can be used to achieve the desired effect. Brush teeth is a technique that involves using a special brush to apply silicone ink directly onto the polyester webbing in a way that creates a textured or rough surface. This can be achieved by using a small toothbrush or a stiff bristled brush. The ink is applied in a series of short strokes, creating a layered effect that mimics the appearance of brush or fur. This technique is particularly useful for creating logos or designs that require a textured or raised finish.
Before you print the brush teeth with silicone ink,you need make two screens by your design.One screen is used to printing base design.
Because it's polyester webbing.You need print silicone adhesive XG-360Z-3X for undercoating to improve the stick force on webbing .We recommend you print silicone XG-360Z-3X for three times.Please bake every screen printing ink layer for surface dry at low temperature.If you add more catalyst,you can bake it cured at 80℃.Otherwise,you need bake the ribbon at 100℃.Before baking it,you do test and check the ribbon if it's good heat resistance.It's most important step for you to print high quality product with silicone ink from YR silicone and XG silicone.
How many times will you print silicone ink with base screen?
-We recommend you print 5 times.
What's the mesh number for silicone ink printing?
-The mesh number need be 120-48T.If you use 150 mesh-60T,it's not easy for the silicne ink to flow into the ribbon or webbing.You will print much more times than mesh 48T.Hence,your screen printing cost will be much higher if you print more times.
When you print the brush teeth design,you need use another screen.The screen must be dot design.When you print the silicone ink about 20 times,the brush teeth will grow.
Screen printing is a popular method of printing on polyester webbing. This technique involves using a stencil or mesh screen to transfer the ink onto the fabric. The stencil or screen must be prepared in advance, with the desired design or pattern carefully cut out or printed onto it. The screen is then placed over the polyester webbing, and the ink is pressed through the holes in the stencil using a squeegee.
The first step in screen printing on polyester webbing is to prepare the stencil or screen. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as hand-cutting the design from a stencil material, or creating a digital design that can be printed onto the screen using a computer and specialized software.
Once the stencil or screen has been prepared, it is placed onto the polyester webbing and secured using tape or clamps. The ink is then loaded onto the screen, and the squeegee is used to push the ink through the stencil and onto the fabric.
One of the advantages of screen printing is that it allows for a high level of control over the amount of ink that is transferred onto the fabric. This means that it is possible to create intricate designs with fine lines and details, as well as large areas of solid color.
Another advantage of screen printing is that it is a highly scalable method of printing. This means that it can be used to print a single item, such as a custom ribbon, or large quantities of items, such as a batch of promotional t-shirts or bags.
In conclusion, when it comes to printing on polyester webbing, silicone ink is the best option for durability and flexibility. Special printing techniques such as brush teeth can be used to create textured or raised finishes. Screen printing is a highly scalable method of printing that allows for a high level of control over the amount of ink that is transferred onto the fabric, making it an ideal choice for printing on polyester webbing.
