Description
Mercury Low Bleed White PLHE1050 is designed for maximum smoothness and opacity on cotton (pre-test for potential to ghost) and poly/cotton fabrics.

Printing Tips:
- Pre-shear ink on a turn-about style machine or by hand before use.
- Mercury White cures best with Infra-red or Gas heat.
- Pre-heat pallets ~ 140°F It is best to pre-heat your pallets well when using quartz flashes.
- Mercury ink cures when the entire ink film thickness has reached 320°F for 6 seconds.
- When curing with a quartz style dryer it is often helpful to enable the “flash” feature to maintain constant heat garment-to-garment.
- It is common for low bleed inks to expand and push the lid off of the product bucket, simply stir the ink back down.
- Flash at 140°F
