New ‘Cool Sport Colors 6100 Series’ inks for textile & garment printing

International Coatings Company announces the introduction of its new line of Cool Sport Colors (6100 Series) inks. The new plastisol inks are based on the company’s proprietary CoolTech technology and are now part of its expanding line of FlexCure screen printing inks. FlexCure inks offer a ‘flexible’ curing range – from a low 275°F/135°C to the standard 325°F/163°C. CoolTech products rely on the same chemistry found in the Cool White (7022) ink.  CoolTech adds strength, elongation, and elasticity to inks, and enables Cool Sport inks to be printed on multiple substrates.

Cool Sport Colors feature 13 brilliant, ready-for-use team- and sports-related colours (formerly found in the 6100 Super Opaque Series Direct Print Plastisol). The inks contain a high pigment load for maximum coverage on dark garments, thus eliminating the need for under-basing. They are suitable for printing on 100 percent cotton, 50/50 blends, non-woven polypropylene, and some polyester items. Cool Sport Colors print beautifully through higher mesh counts on light coloured garments and can be reduced to obtain soft-hand, opaque prints.
