International Coatings Company has introduced a new “creamier” formulation for its Legacy White 7014 plastisol ink for screen printing.
The newly improved non-phthalate ink, dubbed Legacy White 2.0, promises “a creamier consistency, smoother hand and superior on-screen performance” and is “soft-bodied, easy to print and delivers a super-soft hand”.
The new formulation also now places it within International Coatings’ FlexCure line, which means it can be cured across a range of temperatures. For Legacy White 2.0, that range is 149C to 163C (300F to 325F).
Its low-cure, low-bleed properties help stem dye migration on cotton/poly blends as well as on most polyester substrates, offering “superior bleed resistance, very fast flash, excellent opacity and a matte finish”.
Mark Brouillard, product manager of International Coatings, said: “Legacy White 7014 has long been one of our most popular selling products. We have upped Legacy White’s already-superior performance characteristics to meet the evolving needs of the market and our printer community – hence Legacy White 2.0.”
According to International Coatings, in recent beta tests, the newly reformulated Legacy White 2.0 “exceeded expectations” and “outperformed comparable competitors’ products in side-by-side comparisons of coverage and printability”.
Legacy White 2.0 is now available through International Coatings’ exclusive network of distributor companies including Screen Print World in the UK.
