  • Water-based metallic ink, suitable for heat-setting on textiles (typically 150-160 °C for 1-2 minutes, depending on substrate).
  • Soft feel on fabric, enhanced with built-in softeners and excellent penetration into the textile surface.
  • Suitable for both light and dark garments thanks to strong pigment and compatible binder system.
  • Available in multiple sizes (250 ml, 1 L, 4 L, 10 L) to suit hobby, studio or production scale.
  • Mixable with other inks in the Deco system for custom metallic-toned colours (check compatibility).
  • Recommended mesh under typical screen-printing conditions: for metallics a slightly coarser mesh (e.g., ~86-110 T/in) to allow metallic pigment flow.

  • Pre-wash garments to remove surfactants or finishes which may inhibit adhesion.
  • Choose mesh grade allowing for metallic pigment size; if prints appear patchy, try a slightly coarser mesh.
  • Test on substrate to ensure metallic coverage and sheen before full print run.
  • Use lower squeegee angle and firm consistent stroke to deposit metallic ink evenly.
  • Heat-set according to manufacturer instructions; avoid under-curing which reduces wash-fastness.
  • Clean screens immediately after metallic print runs to avoid pigment build‐up and clogging.
