Q1: What makes this Water Based Heat Transfer Ink compliant for export?
A1: It is PVC-free, Phthalate-free, meets major RSLs, and achieves ZDHC Level 3 for full audit and export compliance.
Q2: How do I prevent the ink from drying in the screen in high humidity?
A2: Drying is usually caused by heat near flash units. Use a flood stroke when the press stops and/or add a retarder to slow evaporation, ensuring stability in the process.
Q3: Why are my transfers peeling off after washing (Wash Out)?
A3: Moisture is the main cause (the Laundry Effect). Pre-press garments 3–5 seconds and store transfer films in a dry, sealed environment with desiccants.
Q4: Is local service and support available for this Water Based Heat Transfer Ink?
A4: Yes, Prominent Tec in Bangladesh offers installation, training, service, and spare parts.
