Comet White by Green Galaxy is the first phthalate and PVC free water based ink that performs like plastisol, but feels like water based ink. Light, creamy and easy to use Comet White stays wet in the screen during printing longer than any other water based white we have tested. With the ability to print through mesh sizes ranging from 110-305, Comet White not only prints great it feels amazing on the shirt. With an extremely soft hand, bright and crisp look and flexible nature, Comet White is the best thing to hit the screen printing since White Plastisol.

General Information:
Ready-to-use print water based ink for white printing on light or dark cotton and other non dye migrating fabrics. Can be printed on dark polyester or dye migrating fabrics with use of compatible low cure catalyst.

Can be used with any mesh between 110-305
Stencil/Emulsion Guidelines:
We recommend using either a water resistant emulsion like Ryonet WBP or using an emulsion hardener like Ryonet Harden-X.
Mixing info:
This product can be mixed with transparent and covering ink from the AB series.
Printing Instructions:
Load screen with plenty of Comet White ink. Flood screen prior to printing. Comet White can be printed with a push or pull squeegee stroke. After printing, flood screen allowing ink to sit on top of image to avoid drying. If screen clogs or exhibits dry ink in the print, re-flood and aggressively print again, this should clear the screen. If it does not clear the screen, spray a small amount of warm water into the stuck areas of the screen and wipe out with a rag. If you are leaving your screen for an extended period of time be sure to leave your screen flooded completely. If your ink begins to scale over, spray with water to rewet ink. White can be printed with other water based inks and with plastisol inks.
Flashing Instructions:
For flashing, forced air flash is optimal. Flash until dry to the touch.
Curing Instructions:
Printed fabric should be cured for a minimum of 90 seconds at 360°F. Ideally, printed fabric should be cured for three minutes at 300--320°F.
Testing/Precautions:
After printing, perform a stretch test to ensure elasticity. It is always recommend to perform a wash test to ensure proper cure prior to going into production. You may also run abrasion testing to watch for flaking and test adhesion. Increase cure dwell time if testing fails.
Clean Up:
Ink should be removed from screen as soon as printing is completed. General wash-up (on ink that has not dried) can be done with water, though using Enviro-Solve is much easier and recommended. For aggressive or dried screens, use Enviro-Solve to dissolve ink and blast out areas of stuck ink with water pressure.
Storage info:
Keep container(s) tightly closed. Store in cool, well ventilated location that is locked.
