• 2540 ImageBrite Reflective Base is a clear reflective base that can be printed as is or tinted. 2542 ImageBrite Reflective Lite Gray is a clear reflective ink pre-tint to a light gray color. 2544 ImageBrite Reflective Platinum combines reflective media and metallic flakes for a silver reflective appearance
• For best reflective properties, print ImageBrite directly to open weave fabrics. Direct printing allows the ink to sink into the fabric leaving the reflective media on top for brilliant reflectivity
• ImageBrite Reflectives are not recommended on tightly woven fabrics such as nylon or printed over an underbase as this will diminish the reflectivity properties
• Proper ink deposit is critical to achieve best reflectivity results. Recommend using single print with single or double stroke and proper mesh counts. Pre-test suitability for reflectivity, opacity and durability before production
• Imagebrite Reflective inks work well on dark fabrics but are not highly saturated. The color under normal lighting will vary with the fabric color
• It is recommended to outline images printed with Imagebrite Reflective Base or Lite Gray with a white or contrasting color for the design to be visible in all light levels
• 2540 ImageBrite Reflective Base can be tinted with plastisol colorants. See Pigment Loading section for suggested percentages. Limit the % colorant added to maintain best reflectivity
• For best care, hand wash or machine wash on cold cycle with garment inside-out Label garments with suggested wash instructions

• Stir plastisols before printing.
• Do not dry clean, bleach or iron printed area.
• Perform fusion tests before production. Failure to cure ink properly can result in poor wash fastness, inferior adhesion and unacceptable durability. Gel and cure temperatures for ink should be measured using a Thermoprobe device placed directly in the wet ink film and verified on the substrate(s) and equipment to be used for production.
• It is the responsibility of the printer to determine that the correct ink has been selected for a specific substrate and the application processes meet the printer’s customer standards or specifications.
• Curing is the responsibility of each printer to confirm that the print is fully cured. PolyOne’s cure recommendations are not a guarantee or warranty, but merely suggested starting points for curing evaluations as explained above.
• When printing on garments that contain certain dyes, you must pre-test for the potential ghosting. Please refer to our website for more information on this issue.
• Wilflex products have been carefully designed to perform within a given viscosity range, and any dramatic change in viscosity is probable to result in a change in printing characteristics
• NON-CONTAMINATION OF EPIC INKS: Do not mix EPIC inks with inks, additives or extenders from other companies. All buckets, palette knives, stirring apparatus, squeegees, flood bars and screens must be cleaned properly and free of phthalates and pvc containing inks. Non-phthalate emulsions and pallet adhesives must be used. Failure to follow these precautions may cause phthalate contamination in violation of consumer protection laws and regulations.
• Any application not referred in this product information bulletin should be pre-tested or consultation sought with Wilflex Technical Services Department prior to printing.
