  WASH RESISTANT - COLOUR FAST - BRIGHT COLOURS - NON-TOXIC

Fastex Textile Ink is a heat setting ink which when properly applied will be colour fast, dry cleanable, wash resistant and suitable for most fabrics. 

Available in a full range of bright colours. The fluorescent colours are less resistant to fading. Variable results may be obtained on some synthetic fabric and wool, so please patch test first. 

Use FAS Extender Medium to reduce the depth of colour without losing any fastness properties.

USE FOR:

Use Fastex for painting or printing permanent designs on to fabric. Ideal for painting on clothing, tee-shirts, pillow cases, duvets, hats, cushions, curtains and most fabric items.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Versatile and permanent heat setting fabric ink with a very large intermixable range of colours. Designs may be applied by either painting or screen-printing. The best results are achieved on white or light coloured fabric.
Tip: It is better to paint two thinner coats than one thick coat for a durable finish.

APPLICATION:

We suggest that you patch test your fabric first. Apply by brush or screen stencil. Allow to air dry, then iron on the reverse side for three to five minutes at a setting suitable for the fabric. The fabric may then be washed in its usual way without affecting the design. If printing onto thick or fleece fabric, allow to dry thoroughly then place a light cloth over print and iron as above. Thin sparingly with water if necessary as this will affect fastness properties.

CLEANING:

Wash up work surfaces and tools with soap and water immediately after use, the painted surface becomes permanent.

PURCHASE:

Fastex can be purchased in all good book, stationery and art supplies stores in New Zealand.  Also available from your educational supplier.
