Special Effects Print Techniques
This simple technique using our High Density Dimensional ink was demonstrated
by printing guru Charlie Taublieb at FESPA 2007 in our booth.
He simply used a wallpaper brush instead of a squeegee to get this striated
effect. Very simple and very effective. Try tone-on-tone or contrasting
colors.
Here is another simple technique that Charlie showcased at FESPA 2007,
simply using our 3808 Bead Adhesive and some caviar beads.
Get a great look by using this simple technique!
Ed Branigan came up with this special effects look. For this particular
design, only one screen was used.
• Apply IC’s 3809 FX Clear using 110 mesh screen and 200 micron
capillary film.
• Add caviar beads by hand while the adhesive is wet.
• Cure at 330° F for 1 minute.
• Apply silver foil on top of the caviar beads and quickly (1 second) apply
the foil with a heat transfer machine. Hot peel the foil and voila!
Here are the settings used on the heat transfer machine: 350 degrees F,
10 psi for 1 second
For this particular design, you will need 3 screens as follows:
1st screen
• Use a mixture of 90% 3810 BlowOut Base and 10% Black Color Concentrate
(you can use other colors, of course) on a 25 mesh screen
• Flash the ink (10 seconds)
2nd screen
• Print your design again using the mixture of 90% 3810 BlowOut Base
and10%Black CC, using the 25mesh screen
• Flash (10 seconds)
3rd screen
• On the third screen, use a mixture of 90% 3811 Granite Base and
10%Black CC on a 40 mesh screen
• Cure @ 380 degrees for 2 minutes and voila, you’ve got an amazing
textured design.
