1) D BUSTER:
3D Buster is a very viscous base to add to the Mixo Series plastisol ink to transform them in High Square SDQ plastisol. According to the desired final viscosity you con add between 20 and 50% to the MIXO inks.



2) DSQ COLORS:
Hi-Square inks that produces a print with an extraordinarily thick ink layer that retains sharp edges and crisp, highly detailed definition even after curing. Hi-Square colors are based on the standard Mixopake color range so they will produce very close color matches when used with the formulas in the Mixopake Formulation Guide. For satisfactory results this ink must be used in combination with a correctly prepared screen and carefully adjusted printing techniques.



3) AEROSOL ADHESIVES:
We commercialize: Adhesive Spray Unitac F from Union Ink. From Albatross the Hold Tight adhesive (spray) and the Dry Web (spider).




4) BARRIER GREY:
New plastisol ink with superior performance for the dye migration problems.

It can also be used in transfer printing, as the last layer of ink. After printed add Ulon powder to ensure the adhesion to the garment.




5) CANDY COLORS:

They are available in 7 standard colors: SILVER, TURQUOISE, ESMERALD GREEN, CHERRY, GRAPE AND GOLDEN.




6) CAVIAR:

7) CLEAR GOLD&SILVER y PREMIUM CLEAR GLITTER PAGL 9032:
Metallic Clear Base is a transparent base with a heavier body than other bases. It's used with glitter flakes and metallic powders where its heavier body helps keep the coloring agents in suspension. It is a balanced additive so you can add any amount to a plastisol ink without affecting the cure.
Metallic Clear Base (PAGL-9030) can also be used as a backup clear for litho transfers.

Premium Glitter Clear (PAGL-9032) is a lower viscosity version of a clear base to produce simulated "dry dusted glitter" designs. Premium Glitter Clear produces a more shimmering, brilliant effect than normal metallic clear bases.




8) CLICHÉ BASE PLASTISOL:
New plastisol ink, with very low viscosity, specifically formulated for the manufacture of keyrings and tags in molds.

11) EASY SPLIT CLEAR y MIXO TRANS ADDITIVE:
The EASY SPLIT CLEAR PLUS-9031 is a very soft plastisol designed to be used as a first down clear for transfer application. Once the clear base is printed and properly gelled, it can then be overprinted with a very soft 4-color process or fine line prints to emulate direct prints through a very fine mesh. A correctly applied transfer will produce a vibrant detailed print with a very soft hand.
PLUS-9031 can also be printed last as a transfer backing. When the transfer is then applied the PLUS-9031 film will limit the penetration of the printed image into the garment, leaving a more opaque print.
Mixo Trans Additive is added up to 15% to Mixopake colors to improve the peel off from the paper and the adhesion of the transfer to the garment.
