Care should be exercised when selecting dyes for certain applications due to the limitations of gas-fade properties of some dyes.

1. Prepare goods as necessary. Typically, a simple prescour where the goods are run for 30 minutes at 180°F(82°C) with 1-2% owg Anionic Wetting Agent is sufficient, along with a good rinse.
2. Make up print paste containing:
   • X    parts Cold Water
   • 1.5-4.0 parts Orco Clear Conc SP-2™

3. Mix these two components with a high-speed mixer until smooth. Amount of Orco Clear Conc SP-2™ is dependent on viscosity desired.  Then add:
   • 1% Orcotol MN Powder™
   • X% Orcocil™ Disperse dye solution

4. Run a high-speed mixer for 5-10 minutes until smooth.
5. The pH of a synthetic clear should never go below 7.5 .
6. Screen print paste onto acetate fabric.
7. Dry goods at a maximum temperature of 205°F(96°C).
8. Fix dye onto fiber by passing goods through a continuous ager at 220°F(104°C) for 20 minutes.
9. Rinse goods cold then wash with 0.133 oz/gal(1g/L) Orconol CHSA Conc™ at 110°F(43°C).
10. Rinse cold and dry.
