Questions & Answers

What is Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB best used for?
Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB is ideal for bold spot colors, team logos, school designs, and brand graphics that call for a deep, saturated reflex blue on t‑shirts, hoodies, and other apparel.

Is Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB fully opaque or semi‑opaque?
Reflex Blue DI‑118 is described as a semi‑opaque plastisol ink with a semi‑gloss finish, providing strong color that can be used directly on light garments or over a white underbase on dark garments for maximum opacity.

What fabrics can I print with Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB?
Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB is formulated to work on all common textile fabrics, including cotton, cotton‑poly blends, and many performance or synthetic garments, with fair‑to‑good bleed resistance when used with proper underbases and cure settings.

What cure temperature should I use with Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB?
Reflex Blue DI‑118 is designed to cure in the low‑plastisol temperature range, typically around 270–310°F at the ink film, which helps maintain durability while reducing the risk of dye migration and scorching; always verify with a temperature probe and wash test.

Does Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB work with standard emulsions and capillary films?
Yes. Reflex Blue Dynamic Plastisol Ink 118 is compatible with all types of direct emulsions and capillary films commonly used in textile screen printing, so it fits easily into standard prepress workflows.

Can Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB be used in a color‑matching or mixing system?
Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB is part of Lawson’s Pantone‑style lineup (alongside Process Blue and Violet) and can be used by weight with other Dynamic inks in a mixing workflow to fine‑tune custom blues, teals, and accent shades.

What mesh counts are recommended for Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB?
For strong coverage and solid areas, many printers use 110–160 mesh, while 196–305 mesh can be used when you want a softer hand or finer detail, especially on lighter garments or over strong white underbases.

How is Reflex Blue DI‑118 LB different from Process Blue DI‑119 LB?
Reflex Blue is a deeper, more violet‑leaning blue commonly used for certain team and brand colors, while Process Blue is a cleaner, more cyan‑leaning blue that’s often used as a mixing primary or in simulated process sets.
