Questions & Answers

What is Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB used for?
Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB is a Color Match Mixing Purple designed to be used by weight in the Dynamic plastisol mixing system to build custom purples, violets, and related shades for Pantone and brand color matches.

Can Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB be printed by itself?
Yes. While it is formulated primarily as a mixing color, Mixing Purple 116 has semi‑opaque coverage and can be printed as a stand‑alone purple when its strength, hue, and opacity meet your job requirements; always test for on‑garment appearance and hand.

What fabrics can I print with mixes that include Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB?
When combined with other Dynamic mixing bases and used with proper underbases, DI‑116‑based mixes can be printed on cotton, 50/50 blends, tri‑blends, and many polyester garments, following the same fabric and bleed‑resistance guidelines as the rest of the Dynamic Color Matching Series.

What cure temperature should I use with Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB?
Dynamic plastisol inks are designed as low‑cure, production‑ready inks that typically cure around 270–280°F at the ink film, which helps reduce dye migration and garment scorching; always follow Lawson’s label for your specific mix and confirm cure with a temperature probe and wash test.

How do I use Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB in a color‑matching system?
Use DI‑116 on an ink scale with the other Dynamic mixing primaries, transparent white, and mixing black. Add components by weight according to your formula—starting with the largest‑percentage colors—and mix thoroughly from the bottom of the container until the ink is uniform before going to press.

Is Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB fully opaque or semi‑opaque?
Mixing Purple 116 is described as semi‑opaque with a semi‑gloss finish and fair‑to‑good bleed resistance, which gives it enough strength for mixing and controlled coverage when used in spot‑color or accent applications.

Does Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB work with standard emulsions and capillary films?
Yes. Like other Dynamic plastisol inks, Mixing Purple 116 is designed to work with common direct emulsions and capillary films used in textile screen printing, so it integrates smoothly into typical prepress workflows.

What mesh counts are recommended when printing colors that include Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB?
Most Dynamic spot and mixing colors perform well through 110–160 mesh for solid coverage, with higher meshes (196–305) used when you want softer‑hand prints or finer detail, especially on light garments or over a white underbase.

Where can I get help setting up mixes with Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB?
Lawson’s support team in St. Louis, Missouri and Marietta (Atlanta), Georgia can help you design Dynamic purple formulas, choose mesh counts, and optimize flash and cure profiles for jobs that incorporate Mixing Purple DI‑116 LB.
