High-Density Plastisol Ink: The Game-Changer in Screen Printing
Plastisol blæk med høj densitet is changing the world of screen printing. This thick, strong ink lets you make 3D designs, bright colors, and prints that last for years. Let’s learn how it works and why you should try it!
What is High-Density Plastisol Ink?
Plastisol blæk med høj densitet is a special ink used in Serigrafi. It is made from:
- PVC resin (a type of plastic).
- Blødgøringsmidler (oils that make the ink soft).
- Tilsætningsstoffer (to make it thick and strong).
When heated, this ink hardens into a raised design you can feel with your fingers. Brands like Wilflex Quantum HD og FN Ink Xenon Series make popular versions of this ink.
Top 5 Reasons to Use High-Density Plastisol Ink
- 3D Texture: Makes designs pop out like a sticker.
- Bright Colors: Stays vibrant on black shirts and dark fabrics.
- Holdbarhed: Won’t crack, fade, or peel after washing.
- Works on Many Materials: Use it on cotton, polyester, bags, mugs, and more.
- Cost-Effective: Saves money because prints last longer.
How to Use High-Density Plastisol Ink
Tools You Need:
- EN skærmen med 110-160 mesh count.
- EN gummiskraber (to push ink through the screen).
