Features
- Single Pigment concentrates for use with the
M2 System.
- Safe and easty method for enhancing M2
colors.
- Create M2 primaries by mixing CB color in MH0538
base, then make the desired PANTONE colors
OR
- Mix the desired PANTONE color using new CB formulas
privided by Rutland.
- Mix CB's into one of any number of Rutland Specialty
Bases to create custom colors for many different applications.
- Reduce the number of items on the shelf.
Description
CB's or color Boosters were developed as a means
of enhancing the existing M2 Primaries offering a darker, more saturated
color. Color Boosters may also be mixed with MS0000 Primer Clear or
MH0538 Opaque Base for creating any M2 Primary or recalculate the formula
given to create a PANTONE match.
Mix Color Booster into any of the following bases
to create custom colors in the series of your choice:
- MS0400 Carpet Soft
- MH0538 Opaque Base
- MS0000 Primer Clear
- ML0749 Low Bleed Poly Base
These pigments are not conventional pigment concentrates
in plasticizer. Each color booster will fuse which does not up-set the
pigment binder ratio of the finished product. The maximum amount equals
40% by weight. This is more than twice the amount recommended or allowed
with conventional pigment concentrates. This offers a deeper, more saturated
color. Each Color Booster will semi-fuse however, these products are
not to be printed as press-ready plastisols.
Application
Mix Color Booster into like M2 color for enhancement
(40% by weight maximum). Mix PANTONE colors with new formulas or simply
adjust M2 colors as needed (not to exceed 40% total pigment concentrate
in base). Thicken with M00010 Thickener #10 to increase opacity if so
desired.

Recommended Fabric
For direct printing on dark, medium or light 100%
cotton or 50/50 poly/cotton blends when printed on a low bleed white
underlay, e.g. ML9250 or ML9540 White.
Fusion Temperature of Final Mixed Color
320 degrees F
Recommended Printing Technique
Load ink into the mesh opening. Only the image area
should be filled with ink. Transfer the ink to the fabric surface with
a light squeegee pass (70 to 80 durometer). In general, the tighter
the fabric weave, the less necessary to "load" the ink into
the mesh opening with the flood pass. For example: Less pressure or
loading is required to print a nylon jacket shell fabric, (tight weave)
than a 100% cotton garment (open weave). Improving the flood stoke technique
will offer 1) Faster production speeds, 2) Higher quality of print 3)
Increase mesh counts to improve ink mileage.
Special Recommendations
Plastisols are thermoplastic, requiring heat for
fusion. Test print area for crock fastness. Should color rub off on
white cloth, adjust oven temperatures and/or dwell time until crock
test passes (cloth wipes clean).
Stir plastisols prior to printing.
Do not dry clean. Do not use bleach.
Any application not referenced in this technical
data should be pretested or consultation sought with Rutland's Applications
Laboratory prior to printing.
