Note: when silkscreen printing with any acrylic-based product including Chromacryl, it is advisable to add about 10% Retarder to the mixture on the screen, and the process must be carefully supervised to make sure that the paint does not dry on the screen. Consider limiting silkscreen printing projects to one-colour jobs for articles such as T-shirts.
AP-approved non-toxic.
