1. What Is Plastisol Ink?

Plastisol tinta is a thick, smooth ink used to print designs on clothes. It is made from three main parts: PVC smola (a type of plastic), plastifikatori (liquids that make the ink soft), and pigments (colors). People love plastisol ink because it stays bright on dark shirts, is easy to use, and lasts a long time.

This ink works best for printing on T-shirts, hats, bags, and posters.

2. How Plastisol Ink Works

The Chemistry

Plastisol ink turns solid when heated. Here’s how it works:

• The PVC smola i plastifikatori mix to form a liquid ink.
• When heated to 300–330°F (149–166°C), the ink hardens and sticks to the fabric.
• Some plastisol inks use ftalati, chemicals that can harm the environment. Newer inks are bez ftalata to solve this problem.

Key Facts:

• Temperatura stvrdnjavanja: 300–330°F (149–166°C) (Source: Union Ink, 2023).
• 85% of printers use screens with 110–160 mesh for bold designs (Source: FESPA Survey, 2022).

3. How to Make Plastisol Stick to Fabric

To make plastisol ink stick to fabric, follow these steps:

1. Print the ink through a screen (like a stencil).
2. Heat the ink using a pokretna sušilica.

Why heat matters:

• If the ink is too cold, it will crack.
• If the ink is too hot, it may turn yellow.

Stručni savjet: Use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature.
