A new photostencil emulsion has been developed by CPS to specifically meet the needs of high end fashion textile printers.

CPS Ultra Coat Triton creates a highly durable stencil which is ideal for discharge, water and plastisol inks. The new emulsion has been formulated to offer consistency, speed, ease of application and high durability for printed goods requiring a soft and natural feel.

Simon Jones, commercial manager, said: “We have developed this latest emulsion to be resistant to discharge inks, as these are widely used for high fashion textiles in order to offer outstanding colour rendering.

“However, discharge inks tend to be aggressive to the stencil, so CPS Ultra Coat Triton has been formulated to perform at an optimal level, even in these extreme conditions, and particularly on the latest direct to screen systems which are being used on the market today.”

According to CPS, the emulsion’s high solid content provides excellent coating on course mesh avoiding the need for retouching. For most applications only 1+1 coats will be required, even on poorly prepared screens, and after printing it can be easily decoated.

With global per capita consumption of high end textiles expected to grow by 2020, the new emulsion will help CPS increase its already well established presence in this market.
