MUSE Soft Hand Additive for Screen Printers

MUSE Soft Hand Additive is the ideal solution for screen printers seeking a softer, more comfortable finish on their prints. It blends seamlessly with plastisol inks, reducing stiffness and enhancing absorption into fabric, delivering a smooth, water-based ink feel without sacrificing plastisol durability. Perfect for screen printers aiming for high-quality, soft-hand prints on garments, from t-shirts to hoodies, and even more delicate fabrics like poly-blends or tri-blends.

Versatile Mixing for Custom Results

MUSE Soft Hand Additive is a versatile tool for screen printers. Mix it with any plastisol ink or use it as a base for pigment concentrates for complete control over your prints. There’s no strict mixing ratio, so feel free to experiment—try an 80/20, 60/40, or 50/50 mix to find your perfect blend. Remember, increasing the additive makes your ink softer but less opaque, allowing you to tailor each print to your needs, from bold designs to subtle, vintage looks.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store between 65-90°F and keep it away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality. The typical shelf life is one year from the manufacturing date, making it a reliable addition to any screen printing setup. Always ensure the container is sealed properly to prevent drying out.

Curing and Application Tips for Screen Printers

For best results, follow these curing guidelines: flash cure at 160°F for 3-5 seconds and fully cure at 320°F for 60-90 seconds. Coat screens with plastisol or hybrid emulsions for optimal stencil preparation. When using pigment concentrates, limit to 15% of the mixture. For long print runs, post-hardening the stencil is recommended for durability, ensuring smooth prints even during high-volume production.
