19. COLOR STABILITY
• SBL3-FP & SBL3-Fy is almost the same results as other Texart ink colors.
• Wider Color Gamut Ever by using TEXART Inks SBL3/FY/FP
<How colors change over time after transfer (⊿E)>
<<Printing & Transfer Conditions>>
-Media: Toromat Cloth (Polyester)
-Transfer Conditions: 200C for 1 min
-Print Resolution: 360x720dpi
<<Measuring method>>
Leave the printing material at room temperature. Then, put IJ
5331 under the printing material, measure the reflection
density of three different places, and then calculate the
average.

20. Can we print 100% stretch media with RT-640M?
• No. Feeding system based on pinch-rollers can not feed 100% elastic media
• Media with certain stretch ability can be used with RT-640M. Test your own media
Can we print cotton or silk with RT-640M?
• No. SBL3 Inks are compatible with polyester based materials. More than 70% of polyester is needed.
• Lower percentage of polyester must be tested by user. Poly-cotton materials need to be tested because many combinations are
available
During printing the colours are not vivid (paper & fabric)?
• Disperse and sublimation inks needs Tª to achieve the final colour and good penetration on the media.
• After fixation or sublimation processes with calender, reactivation oven or heat press the colours will become vivid
How the ink is fixed on the fabric when is printed directly?
• Fixation can be done by calender, reactivator oven or heat press. Using heat press required cut pieces
• After fixation the ink is integrated into the fabric and it’s ready for finishing
Should be necessary to use protection paper during fixation process?
• Yes, always recommended with calender or heat pres.
• No with reactivator oven when the media goes trough without contacting with the heater element
FAQ

21. Can we use Fluor color with RT-640M?
• Yes. RT-640M offers same ink colour configuration as RT-640: 2xCMYK or CMYKLcLmOrVi or
CMYKOrViFpFy
Can we print directly onto fabrics with fluor colours?
• Yes. Fluor colours have same ink formulation and compatibility
Indirect and direct printing achieve same colours?
• Using same ink configuration, media, print mode and proper fixation conditions colours must be
almost identical
Why natural fibres can not be printed with RT-640M?
• Natural fibres needs specific inks for printing properly directly onto fabrics. SBL3 inks are not
suitable for natural fibres
• Pre and post printing processes are more complicated and expensive when natural fibres need to
be printed
Can the printed fabrics be washed?
• Yes. After sublimation or fixation process the ink is integrated into the fabric
• Aggressive laundry detergents can vary colours after many washes. Check recommendations of the
fabric for washing and drying

22. Can we use dark fabrics with RT-640M?
• No. There is no white ink for direct or indirect sublimation
• Light colours fabrics can be printed but user needs to check if final colour is what he wants to
achieve
Can we print directly on cut pieces of fabrics with RT-640M?
• No. DTT is only for R2R application.
How can we decorate or print cut pieces of fabrics?
• The right process to decorate cut pieces of white fabrics is:
1. Print designs and shapes on dyesub paper roll with RT-640M
2. Use calender with table to sublimate the images printed. Mount the printed paper on the
calender and put the cut fabric over the printed image using the table and pass both into
calender.
3. Using heat-press the printed images on paper must be cut according with heat-press size and
cut pieces. Put cut fabric over the image printed on the paper and press
What is different with latex inks?
• Latex inks are compatible with smaller range of fabrics
• Thin and stretch media can not be printed with latex. User can do it with RT-640M printing on dye
sub paper and sublimate later
• Latex ink remains on the surface. Direct and indirect sublimation penetrates into the media
• Flag medias don’t achieve same colour on both sides when printed with Latex
