You spend hours setting up the press yet a few hours in the dryer turns your bright white logo into a dull pink mess. This is dye migration. At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/fa\/\">HONG RUI SHENG<\/a><\/strong>, we call it the &#8220;profit killer&#8221; because it destroys garments and wastes your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Bottom Line:<\/strong> To stop the bleed, you must keep the heat down. We use <a href=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/fa\/%da%86%d8%a7%d9%be-%d8%b1%d9%88%db%8c-%d8%b5%d9%81%d8%ad%d9%87-%d8%ac%d9%88%d9%87%d8%b1-%d9%be%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%aa%db%8c%d8%b2%d9%88%d9%84\/%d8%b3%d8%b1%db%8c-chjt\/\">low-bleed white ink<\/a> and stay under 280\u00b0F (138\u00b0C). We also use a grey barrier base for 100% polyester. This keeps the colors sharp and keeps your customers happy. It saves you money and it keeps your reputation solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-ghost-in-the-machine-why-it-bleeds\">The Ghost in the Machine: Why It Bleeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyester isn&#8217;t like cotton. The dye inside the fabric is just waiting to escape. When you heat the shirt to 300\u00b0F (150\u00b0C), that dye turns into a gas. It floats up into your <a href=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/fa\/%da%86%d8%a7%d9%be-%d8%b1%d9%88%db%8c-%d8%b5%d9%81%d8%ad%d9%87-%d8%ac%d9%88%d9%87%d8%b1-%d9%be%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%aa%db%8c%d8%b2%d9%88%d9%84\/\">\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631 \u067e\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u06cc\u0632\u0648\u0644<\/a> and changes the color forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen it a thousand times. A red jersey turns a white print pink. A blue hoodie turns a yellow print green. This happens because the &#8220;migration window&#8221; opens up exactly when standard inks are trying to cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester.jpg\" alt=\"How to Prevent Dye Migration When Using Plastisol Ink on Polyester\" class=\"wp-image-8133\" title=\"\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u067e\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u06cc\u0632\u0648\u0644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester.jpg 750w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u067e\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u06cc\u0632\u0648\u0644<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-we-solve-it-the-hong-rui-sheng-method\">How We Solve It: The HONG RUI SHENG Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-the-right-ink\">Use the Right Ink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t use standard ink on polyester. You need a low-bleed white with high opacity. These inks have special chemicals that act like a sponge for the dye gas. They trap the &#8220;bleed&#8221; before it hits the surface. We always recommend checking the textile chemistry of your ink before you start a big run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-grey-barrier-shield\">The Grey Barrier Shield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For 100% polyester or camo, one layer of white isn&#8217;t enough. We print a grey barrier base first. This layer contains carbon particles. Think of it as a shield. The carbon catches the dye gas and it can&#8217;t get through to your top color. You flash it for a few seconds but you don&#8217;t fully cure it yet. Then you hit it with your white top coat. It works every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lower-the-temperature\">Lower the Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat is the enemy. <a href=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/fa\/%d8%b3%d8%b1%db%8c-hf\/\">Standard plastisol ink<\/a> cures at 320\u00b0F but that&#8217;s right in the danger zone for polyester. We use low-cure additives or low-cure inks that fuse at 270\u00b0F to 280\u00b0F. If you stay below 290\u00b0F, the dye stays in the fabric where it belongs. We use an ink curing guide to make sure our belt speed and temperature are perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-practices-from-our-shop\">Best Practices from Our Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Use a Donut Probe<\/strong> We don&#8217;t trust the little screen on the dryer. We use a donut probe to check the actual temperature on the shirt. Sometimes the dryer says 300\u00b0F but the shirt is actually 330\u00b0F. That&#8217;s when the migration starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Don&#8217;t Stack &#8216;Em Hot<\/strong> When the shirts come off the belt, they&#8217;re still hot. If you stack them in a box immediately, the heat stays trapped. It&#8217;s like a slow cooker. We fan our silicone products and polyester shirts out on a cooling rack. This stops the &#8220;delayed migration&#8221; that happens 24 hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Test Before You Print<\/strong> Grab a scrap shirt. Print it and put it in a heat press at 300\u00b0F for 30 seconds. If it turns pink, your ink or your temp isn&#8217;t right. Do this every time. It takes a minute but it saves thousands of dollars. We cover more of this in our polyester printing techniques guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Prevent Dye Migration When Using Plastisol Ink on Polyester\" class=\"wp-image-8134\" title=\"\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u067e\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u06cc\u0632\u0648\u0644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/plastisol-inks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/How-to-Prevent-Dye-Migration-When-Using-Plastisol-Ink-on-Polyester1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>\u062c\u0648\u0647\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u067e\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u06cc\u0632\u0648\u0644<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">\u0633\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0645\u062a\u062f\u0627\u0648\u0644<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1776930209697\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">\u0633\u0648\u0627\u0644 \u06f1: <strong>Why does my white print look pink the next day?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>This is called delayed migration.
