Plastisol Inks for Screen Printing
Plastisol inks are among the most widely used textile printing inks in screen printing – opaque, durable and versatile. This gives you brilliant, weather-resistant designs on almost any textile substrate. Whether standard shade or special effect – with plastisol ink you realize your design opaquely and reliably.
With plastisol inks, reliable opacity and heat fixing are what count in order to achieve a permanent print result. In the Plastisol category, Print Equipment offers you a proven ink series for your needs. In the Plastisol category you'll find the right foundation for your opaque screen printing design.
What defines plastisol inks?
Plastisol inks consist of PVC particles in a plasticizer solution that only cure completely under the effect of heat. Suitable heat fixing is decisive for an opaque, permanently wash-resistant print result.
The typical use of plastisol inks is clearly structured:
- The ink is printed onto the textile through the screen and initially remains paste-like
- With multicolor designs, intermediate drying takes place between the print passes
- Complete curing only takes place in the final heat process
- After cooling, the design is permanently fixed and ready for use
Plastisol inks thus ideally complement our color inks and are a sensible addition to our special inks.
Why plastisol inks are indispensable
Plastisol inks play an important role for opaque, durable designs in professional screen printing. Only with reliable heat fixing can a result be achieved that also lasts permanently through repeated washing.
The most important advantages include:
- High opacity: Brilliant results even on dark textiles
- Certified quality: According to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ZDHC Level 3 and H&M positive list
- Phthalate- and heavy-metal-free: Wash-resistant up to 60°C. Your individual design is decisive for the choice.
- Wide variant spectrum: Over 20 color and effect variants within one series
- Ideal for professional series use: Popular with textile print shops with high run volumes
This makes plastisol inks indispensable both for classic standard designs and for special effect prints.
