PYE-Plastisol Series ink

Plastisol ink is a type of ink primarily used in textile printing, especially for garments like T-shirts. It’s known for its versatility, durability, and ease of use in screen printing processes. Here’s a detailed explanation of what Plastisol ink is:

Characteristics:

• Heat-Cured: Plastisol ink does not dry on its own; it needs to be heat-cured at a specific temperature (usually around 320°F or 160°C). This process allows the PVC particles to fuse together, forming a solid, durable print on the fabric.
• Durable: Once cured, Plastisol ink creates a strong, flexible, and long-lasting print that can withstand repeated washing without fading or cracking.
• Opaque: Plastisol ink has excellent opacity, which means it covers the fabric well, even on dark garments, without the need for multiple layers.
• Versatile: It can be used for printing on various fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. It can also be formulated to achieve different finishes, such as matte, gloss, or even a raised, 3D effect.

Usage:

• Screen Printing: Plastisol ink is the go-to choice for screen printing, especially when printing bold, vibrant colors or creating designs with intricate details.
• Special Effects: It can be mixed with additives to create various special effects, like puff prints, glitter, or metallic finishes.
