Manufacturer's recommendations for Hydrotech Colours...

Mesh  -  for both standard and fluorescent colours, monofilament mesh in the range of 43T to 48T metric (110T to 120T U.S) is recommended . To achieve the best results with Hy-Cover and Hy-Puff inks, a coarser monofilament screen around 32T metric (80 T U.S) is required.

Stencil  -  all Hydrotech products require the use of a water -resistant type of stencil.

Curing  -  Hydrotech products should be heat-cured at approximately 150 C /300 F for 3 minutes. Fabrics that cannot withstand this temperature should be treated at lower temperatures for a longer duration.

Cleanup  -  all Hydrotech products are water-based and equipment is easily cleaned with water. Ink should not be allowed to dry on screens as it will result in clogging and staining.
