When working with a solvent or eco-solvent printer, we recommend using a generic matte adhesive vinyl profile and letting the material out gas per your printer manufacture's recommended time prior to plotting and installing. Traditionally, that's 24-hours. Printer profiles can be downloaded from the grimco.com profile guide.
Turbo Print 236 has an adhesive backed liner which is ideal when you are not pressing right away or are weeding intricate designs. Transferring the product from the liner to tape is made simple with Briteline’s medium tack 854 transfer tape.
Under medium pressure Turbo Print 236 can be applied to cotton and polyester and blends at 265°F for 5 seconds, 300°F for 4 seconds or 320°F for 3 seconds. When working with heat sensitive materials such as sublimated polyester, leather, pleather and spandex, application at 265°F for 5 seconds is recommended. Given all the variables, installation of this product can be adjusted to best fit your workflow and garment.
When applying Turbo Print 236 to Nylon, pre-press your garment for 4 to 5 seconds at 300°F. Allow your garment to cool then press your graphic for 5 seconds. Remove the PET liner warm and repress for 10 seconds.
