Rapid Cure® Screen Printing Ink Gray (Pint - 16oz.) - Plastisol Ink for Screen Printing, Fast Curing Fabric Paint - Screen Print Direct®, USA Made

The plastisol ink is great. We flash heat at 290 and have no issues. Better than the two part ink, hands down. We see the ink thicken up after twenty minutes of air time on the screen. That helps with our high mesh count screens. Dries in a flash for good looking shirts. Clean up is easy.

I am a complete novice, this was literally my first/only time trying a plastisol ink, so I have no point of reference if this stuff is good or bad. But for me, it seemed to work just fine printing t-shirts using my xTool screen printing setup. I ended up starting with the ink at the rear of the screen, doing a full pressure pull stroke, flipping the squeegee around and then doing a full pressure "reverse pull" back across to bring the ink back to the rear of the screen. I tried more conventional flood/print approach, but got best results just using full pressure for both pulls. It was definitely easier to work with than the xTool included water base ink that dries so ridiculously fast. Once I got the hang of working with this ink and figured out the pressure/ squeegee angle that gave a good print, I was able to turn out 30 shirts pretty quickly with few errors. I used a single quarter between the shirt and the frame to set the off-contact. Ink seemed to cure easily at the specified temp and has lasted fine so far. I will say to do your research on how much ink is needed for your project, I overbought by a huge amount and from what I understand, it does go bad so I doubt I will be able to use it all before it has gone bad. I should have bought a smaller size. I definitely recommend using plastisol instead of water based ink for fellow newbies, the slightly more unpleasant cleanup at the end is worth the much easier printing process with no worries about things drying out while you are printing. I'd also recommend getting some (and by some, I mean many) junk shirts to practice on first because it took me a while to figure out what combination of pressure and angles produced a good print. And err on the side of pushing less ink through at first and work your way up to more, because once you start blowing out the bottom of your design and getting ink all over the bottom of the screen, its a pain to get the screen cleaned up. So start slow and scarce and work your way up until you are pushing out the right amount of ink to get a full print without forcing too much extra ink out onto the bottom of the screen.

Worked very well.

2 orders back to back, both returned. This black plastisol is a mess to even try to work with. Very solid/thick regardless of how much effort put in to stir. Ryonet makes way better creamy inks.1 week later follow up, the manufacturer reached out to discuss the concerns, and has shipped 2 fresh gallons of ink while they look into the issues. A+ for a company caring to make things right.6/13/24 update: 2 new gallons arrived today direct from the manufacturer. These gallons are nice an creamy thick, perfect for screen printing. I'm thinking it is Amazon that is storing this inventory in a hot warehouse causing the ink to pre-cure. Thank you!

Went on smooth and thick

The media could not be loaded. I saw some other people leave reviews mentioning their ink was hard/unuseable upon arrival. I grabbed my package as soon as it arrived at my doorstep and I opened it. I don't think the issue heat outside causing it to cure since it was delivered at night in New York (although it might be, but ive had no issues with any other ink I've had delivered). When I opened the container the seal was broken and the ink was a semi-solid mush. Hopeful that by ordering a replacement it will go better this time. Will update soon contingent on a better second delivery.

Home studio in my basement. I've tried other white inks, and they're nothing like the smooth, reliable low cure ink here. This is usable right out of the container (although I do mix mine before each use with a cordless drill and a paint can opener jammed into the drill). Spreads nicely, evenly, and the low cure is so nice to work with. Even in the winter, in Chicago (where my basement temps are LOW), this ink still responds well and is dependable. ORDER IT NOW.

I used this on a shirt project for Christmas... The color is amazing! It was shiny and silvery, and cured quickly with heat.It's super important to follow the instructions, and have remover on hand for your screen.This does not dry in your screen, which I loved, because I could screen, heat, and get the next shirt ready without drying.
