BUYING GUIDE
In the dynamic world of screen printing, plastisol ink stands out as a popular choice for its versatility, vibrant colors, and durability. Used widely for printing on garments, especially t-shirts, plastisol ink is known for its ability to lay down thick, opaque layers that adhere well to fabric surfaces. Whether you’re running a screen printing business or engaging in it as a hobby, selecting the right type of plastisol ink is crucial for achieving high-quality prints. With a range of formulations and brands available, choosing the most suitable ink for your specific needs can enhance the efficiency and quality of your printing projects. This guide will help you navigate the key aspects to consider when selecting plastisol ink.
1. Viscosity and Consistency:
Different printing projects require inks of different viscosities. Thicker inks are ideal for bold and opaque prints, while thinner inks are better for detailed work and lighter fabrics.
2. Opacity:
Consider the level of opacity you need. High-opacity inks cover dark fabrics well, while lower-opacity inks can be used for lighter fabrics or to create softer prints.
3. Color Range and Mixability:
A wide color range offers more creative freedom. Some plastisol inks can be mixed to create custom colors, which is beneficial for unique or brand-specific hues.
4. Curing Temperature:
Check the curing (drying) temperature of the ink. Inks that cure at lower temperatures can save energy and are suitable for heat-sensitive fabrics.
5. Bleed Resistance:
For printing on polyester or poly-blend fabrics, look for inks with high bleed resistance to prevent color migration.
6. Printability and Detail:
Some inks are better suited for detailed work, maintaining clarity and sharpness in fine lines and small prints.
7. Finish:
Plastisol inks come in various finishes, including glossy, matte, and glitter. Consider the desired finish of your final print.
8. Phthalate-Free Options:
Environmentally and health-conscious screen printers might prefer phthalate-free plastisol inks, which are less harmful.
9. Shelf Life and Storage:
Consider the ink’s shelf life and storage requirements. Proper storage can extend the life of your ink.
10. Brand Reputation and Quality:
Opt for inks from reputable brands known for consistent quality. Researching and reading reviews from other printers can provide valuable insights.
11. Price:
Balance the cost of the ink with its quality and the specific requirements of your printing projects. Sometimes, investing in higher-quality ink can yield better results and be more cost-effective in the long run.
By considering these factors, you can choose plastisol ink that not only suits your printing style and the fabrics you work with but also provides the durability, finish, and quality required for professional-grade screen printing.
