Surface sinks Material shrinkage causes non-uniform release from tool surface Surface splaying (silver streaking)

To create a softer surface, many textile manufacturers are brushing fibers. No ink is applied to the fabric, but this step lays down fibers and creates a smoother surface, eliminating the need for an extra print stroke.

The optimum time to fill the runner system is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 seconds. Voids and/or surface sinks. The addition of a slight surface texture to the mold can help to mask possible surface blemishes in the molded article.

ANNUAL GROWTH FORECAST Source: Smithers report The Future of Thermoplastic Elastomers to 2024 and Ceresana Market Study: Silicones 3rd. LSR will yield either a dry, slippery surface or a soft, rubbery feel not unlike that of human skin. So a surface treatment is recommended for products such as wearables.

Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” patterns) are recommended. Place wells at each 90° bend in the runner system. All of the tie bars in the system need to be calibrated to the same amount of pre-load.

Many performance fabrics also have a defined pattern on the surface, depending on the style of weave. The ink’s surface temperature should reach 180°F to 200°F for 2.5 to 3.5 seconds.  Combining ink systems may cause more problems than solutions.
