CCI D-FLO Yellow Discharge Ink - 1 Gallon
Vibrant yellow water-based discharge ink formulated for textile screen printing, producing bright, soft-hand prints by discharging compatible garment dyes while depositing color into the fabric.
Characteristics
CCI D-FLO Yellow Discharge Ink is a specialty water-based discharge printing ink designed to produce vibrant yellow prints with an exceptionally soft hand on suitable dischargeable garments. The discharge process removes or alters the existing garment dye while simultaneously depositing color, allowing the printed graphic to become part of the fabric rather than creating a heavy ink layer on the surface.
The bright yellow color is ideal for designs requiring strong visual impact while maintaining the lightweight feel associated with water-based discharge printing. Because the ink penetrates the textile fibers, finished prints can provide excellent softness and breathability compared with traditional high-opacity surface-printing methods.
D-FLO Yellow is particularly useful when printing bright colors onto dark garments manufactured with dischargeable dyes. When properly activated, printed, and cured, the discharge chemistry works during the curing process to reduce the garment's original dye and develop the intended yellow print.
Final discharge results can vary depending on the garment dye, fabric composition, dye lot, manufacturing process, ink deposit, and curing conditions. Production garments should always be tested for dischargeability and final color before beginning a full production run.
CCI D-FLO Yellow Discharge Ink is an excellent choice for professional textile screen printers looking to produce vibrant yellow graphics while maintaining the premium softness, breathability, and appearance associated with discharge printing.
