Questions & Answers

What is Violet DI‑117 LB best used for?
Violet DI‑117 LB is ideal for bold violet spot colors, mascot and school graphics, and brand designs that call for a deep violet on t‑shirts, hoodies, and other textile products.

Is Violet DI‑117 LB ready for use, or do I need to add additives?
Violet 117 is a ready‑for‑use Dynamic plastisol ink, formulated to print smoothly straight from the bucket; you only need to stir it to loosen the body and can add curable reducer or soft‑hand additives in small test batches if needed.

What fabrics can I print with Violet DI‑117 LB?
Violet 117 is designed for use on typical textile substrates, including cotton, cotton‑poly blends, and many performance fabrics, with fair‑to‑good bleed performance when used with appropriate underbases and cure settings.

What cure temperature should I use with Violet DI‑117 LB?
Dynamic inks are formulated as low‑cure plastisols that typically cure around 270–280°F at the ink film, though some shops run them up to about 300°F depending on garment and ink film thickness. Always follow Lawson’s label guidance and confirm cure with a temperature probe and wash test.

Does Violet DI‑117 LB work with standard emulsions and capillary films?
Yes. Lawson specifies that Violet 117 works with all types of direct emulsions and capillary films commonly used in textile screen printing, so you can run it with your existing stencil system.

Should I use an underbase with Violet DI‑117 LB on dark garments?
For maximum opacity and color vibrancy on dark garments, Violet DI‑117 LB is best printed over a smooth white plastisol underbase. On light garments, it can often be printed directly without an underbase.

Can Violet DI‑117 LB be used in a color‑matching system?
Yes. Violet 117 can be combined by weight with other Dynamic primaries, mixing black, and transparent white in a structured ink‑mixing workflow when you need custom violets, purples, or accent tones for brand and fashion work.

What mesh counts are recommended for Violet DI‑117 LB?
For solid areas and strong coverage, many printers use 110–160 mesh; for softer‑hand prints or finer detail, higher meshes such as 196–305 can be used, especially on light garments or over white underbases.

Where can I get help dialing in Violet DI‑117 LB?
Lawson’s support team in St. Louis, Missouri and Marietta (Atlanta), Georgia can help you choose mesh counts, emulsions, squeegee durometers, underbases, and cure settings tailored to Violet DI‑117 LB and your specific production setup.
