FAQ

Q: What is the recommended mixing ratio between paint and System3 Printing Medium?

A: The standard recommended mix is 1 part acrylic paint to 1 part medium (1:1 ratio). For more transparent washes or subtle print effects, the medium ratio can be increased up to 1:2.

Q: Are prints created with this medium washable on cotton fabrics?

A: Yes, for textiles, once the print is completely air-dried, heat-set the design with a dry iron (no steam) on the reverse side or over parchment paper for 2 to 3 minutes to make it wash-fast.

Q: How should screen printing equipment be cleaned after using this medium?

A: Clean screens, squeegees, and mixing trays immediately after printing using warm water and a mild detergent. Do not allow the acrylic mixture to dry inside the screen mesh.
