Overview:
Rapid Cure Glow Ink is a semi-translucent plastisol ink that is ready for use straight from the container. When printing on dark garments we recommend printing on top of a color. Use Rapid Cure White or any Fluorescent Rapid Cure ink as a base to acheive a vibrant colored glow effect. For best results use on 100% cotton and some cotton/ poly blend garments
Curing:
- Cure at 132° C/270° F
- Flash at 82-104° C/180-200°F
Flash and Curing Guidelines: Generally it will take 5-10 washes to fully test the cure, but if the ink is seriously under-cured, the print will show deterioration after only 1-3 washings washes. Another way to test your print quickly is doing the “Stretch Test” stretch the print roughly 2/3 of the T-Shirt; if the print cracks and does not retract back it means you under-cured.
General Testing: Before you do any large print, we recommend doing a stretch test and a wash test to ensure you cured and printed correctly before going into production. Increase cure time if testing fails. We recommend only using natural fibers best results will be seen on 100% cotton.
Clean Up:
- On the press: Ecotex Plastisol Press Wash/Ink Degradant
- In the sink: Ecotex Plastisol Screen Wash/Ink Degradant
✔️Pro Tips: Plastisol inks do not dye fabric like the traditional inks. Plastisol inks wraps around the fibers and makes a mechanical bond with the fabric. Store plastisol inks at room temperature. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 90º F (32º C) can cause the ink to start to cure while it's still in the container.
We highly recommend printing with an under base white when printing on a dark garment
