Plastisol inks

Screen printing is a great process for larger order of printed t-shirts (10+) and larger designs. Screen-printed t-shirts wash well and can maintain the print quality for some time. Most printing you see in the High Street shops will have been printed this way. although digital printing has become popular for photographs on shirts recently.
• The standard ‘go to’ inks for most screenprinting jobs.
• Oil based inks formulated into PVC molecules and pigment, suspended in a plasticizing emulsion
• Tend to sit on top of the t-shirt fibres creating a raised and textured feel
• Dark garments require a heavier deposit than light garments and this exacerbates the ‘raised’ feeling.
• If the ink is used straight out of the container, it is very opaque and this means your prints achieve a brightness and vibrancy that is superior to all other types of inks.
• Plastisol inks are also very versatile with special effects
• You can create interesting textures with ‘puff additives’, glitter, suede effects, cracked effects, metallic and pearlescent effects.
• Plastisols will work on almost any standard fabric used in garment production and this is why they also remain the firm favored.
