Axeon Non-PVC Acrysol Crystalina Shimmer 1855 used to accent part of the design. SHIMMER INKS Similar to glitter inks, shimmer inks are versatile and add interest and a shine to any print. Shimmer inks use a finer metallic particle and can be printed through higher mesh counts (86 to 120). One of our most popular shimmers is crystalina. The flakes are translucent, with a coating that reflects light and shimmers in multiple colors. The ink can be used on its own or printed over other colors. The ink allows the colors and design to show through, but adds an extra pop to the design. Keep in mind that any shiny or reflective ink requires longer cure time because they not only reflect light but also heat. Adjust your dryer to achieve full cure temperatures. Usually, a slower belt speed will do the trick. Always test before going into production. AUGUST + SEPTEMBER 2020 | SCREENPRINTING 35
