Hi all,
I sthere a formula to calculate Ink consumption in screen printing.

Hi Jose,
Sorry for the delayed response to your question.
The question you ask is difficult to answer specifically because of the many variables in the screen-printing process. Some of the variables are:
1. Size of the design (bigger designs require more ink).
2. Screen mesh used (more open mesh will lay down more ink than a finer mesh).
3. Type of squeegee used (harder squeegee will lay down less ink than a softer squeegee).
4. Hardness of the printing pallet (a softer pallet will generally result in laying down more ink).
5. Whether you double hit a color such as when you do a print-flash-print for maximum opacity.
There are other variables as well, but these are the main ones. As a general guide, a gallon of a typical plastisol ink printed through a 110-mesh will give you about 1600 sq. ft. of coverage.
I hope this information helps.

I have some Holloway (Adrenaline style) jackets 100% poly that need printing. What ink should I use I was looking at the 7113 and 7100. Which is recommended? Do I need to add a catalyst?

Hi Lynn,
Yes, you can use the 7113 Performance Pro White or any other color that is in the 7100 Performance Pro Series. You do not need to use a catalyst to print on 100% polyester. I’m not familiar with the Holloway(Adrenaline style) jackets, but before proceeding, just check the the jacket label to make sure that it is 100% polyester.
The 7113 and the 7100 series cure at 285 F-300 F, which is a lower temperature than our regular inks. Please be sure to NOT overcure this ink.
Thanks!
