Applications:
HG0185 Pearl Gel requires stirring before printing. Print HG0185 directly onto subtrates. HG0185 is normally printed through mesh ranges from 86 - 110mc/in. You may print through finer mesh to achieve fine details with less height. We recommend 60 durometer squeegee and thick film for superior edge definition when stacking. For high gloss, cure at higher temperature and longer times. Note: Like all luster metallics, this product may tarnish after several washings.
Manual Printing Techniques:
	Load ink into mesh opening with soft, sharp squeegee.
	Only the image area should be filled with ink.
	Transfer ink to the fabric surface with a light squeegee pass using just enough pressure to clear the mesh.
Automatic Printing Techniques:
	Examine the flood bar and smooth edges if necessary.
	Adjust the flood to just transfer the ink from the front to the back of the screen.
	Transfer ink to the fabric surface with a light squeegee pass using just enough pressure to clear the mesh.
