How to Use Reflective Film for Printing
Step 1: Design & Screen Preparation
Create the artwork based on the desired final effect. Prepare the screen mesh according to the design details and required ink deposit thickness. Proper mesh selection ensures precise printing onto the Reflective Film for Printing.
Step 2: Ink Preparation
Mix suitable inks—typically water-based or solvent-based—to achieve the target color, hand feel, and wash fastness. Ensure the ink has consistent viscosity for smooth and uniform printing on the Reflective Film for Printing.
Step 3: Printing onto Reflective Film
Pour the prepared ink onto the screen and use a squeegee to push it through the mesh onto the Reflective Film for Printing. Repeat for multi-color designs, allowing each layer to dry as needed to prevent smudging.
Step 4: Pre-Drying (Flash-Off)
Pass the printed Reflective Film for Printing through a dryer to remove moisture or solvents. This “flash-off” step sets the ink and prepares the tacky surface for adhesive application.
Step 5: Powder Application
Evenly sprinkle hot-melt adhesive powder over the printed area while the ink is still slightly tacky. Shake off excess powder so that adhesive remains only on the design.
Step 6: Tunnel Oven Final Curing
Cure the powder-coated Reflective Film for Printing in a high-temperature tunnel oven. This fully cures the ink and slightly melts the adhesive, ensuring durability and strong adhesion during final garment application.
Step 7: Completion & Quality Control
After cooling, inspect each Reflective Film for Printing batch for adhesion, color accuracy, and overall quality. Once verified, roll or sheet the film for storage and shipment, ready for use.
