Flash White Pre-Print for Screen Printing
Flash white pre-print forms the white base on which your color designs only really come into their own on dark textiles. This gives you brilliant, high-contrast color results even on black or colored fabrics. Whether simple logo or multicolor design – with the right white underbase you realize your design brightly and opaquely.
With flash white pre-print, the right intermediate step of printing and flash curing is what counts in order to create an optimal foundation for the following color print. In the Flash White Pre-Print category, Print Equipment offers you a suitable white ink for your needs. In the Flash White Pre-Print category you'll find the right foundation for high-contrast designs on dark textiles.
What defines flash white pre-print?
Flash white pre-print is printed as the first layer onto dark textiles and partially dried with a flash cure unit before the actual color layers are printed on top. Suitable opacity is decisive for a brilliant, high-contrast end result.
The typical process of pre-printing with flash white is clearly structured:
- The white ink is printed as an underbase onto the dark textile
- A flash cure unit briefly gels the white layer without curing it completely
- The actual color layers are then printed onto the partially dried white underbase
- A final drying process permanently cures the complete design
Flash white pre-print thus ideally complements our flash cure units and is a sensible addition to our color inks.
Why flash white pre-print is indispensable
Flash white pre-print plays an important role for brilliant color results on dark textiles. Only with a suitable white underbase can color designs be achieved that are not bled through or distorted by the dark fabric color.
The most important advantages include:
- High opacity: Reliable coverage of dark and colored textiles
- Optimal flash properties: Quick partial drying for the subsequent ink application
- Phthalate-free formulation: Certified quality for professional use. Your individual fabric color is decisive for the choice.
- Good printability: Can be used on cotton, synthetics and blended fabrics
- Ideal for multicolor designs: Popular as a foundation for complex color build-ups
This makes flash white pre-print indispensable both for simple logos and for multicolor designs on dark textiles.
What aspects need to be considered?
With flash white pre-print, the focus is on both a specific product and the right flash cure workflow.

Depending on fabric color and design complexity, the requirements for your pre-print vary considerably. While Amex Flash Extra White provides the highly opaque foundation for your design, the flash cure workflow ensures that the subsequent color layers adhere optimally.
