Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What mesh count should I use for water based hydrochromic ink?
A: Use 80–120 mesh (32T–48T). Lower mesh builds a thicker, opaque layer to fully hide the image when dry.
Q: Why is my print ghosting (showing the hidden image when dry)?
A: The ink layer is too thin, which affects the quality of the final print. Use a lower mesh or add a Print-Flash-Print stroke to increase opacity.
Q: Is this hydrochromic ink compatible with nylon swimwear?
A: Yes, but use Polyamide (PA) hot-melt powder for nylon. For cotton, use PU powder.
Q: Can I peel the transfer while it’s hot?
A: No. It requires a Cold Peel. Hot peeling can cause the ink to split or lift, impacting the overall quality of the printed material.
Q: Does this ink need a fixing agent?
A: Yes, add 1–3% fixing agent for durability and wash fastness—especially important in humid climates to prevent hydrolysis.
