Curable Ink Reducer Soft-Flow

The Total Ink Solutions® Curable Ink Reducer – Quart is a high-performance ink modifier designed to reduce plastisol ink viscosity without affecting cure properties. Formulated for smooth, even ink flow, this curable reducer enhances printability, soft hand feel, and detailed ink deposition, making it perfect for manual and automatic screen-printing applications.

Unlike standard reducers, this product maintains ink curing integrity, ensuring strong fabric adhesion and excellent wash durability. Ideal for high-detail prints, large coverage areas, and multi-color printing, this low-impact reducer improves press performance and overall print efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Reduces Ink Viscosity Without Over-Thinning – Improves flow and ink deposit while preserving opacity.
• Curable Formula Maintains Ink Integrity – Ensures consistent curing at 320°F - 330°F (160°C - 165°C).
• Enhances Soft-Hand Feel – Creates smoother, more flexible prints without affecting color vibrancy.
• Prevents Ink Drying in Screens – Reduces screen clogging and improves print consistency.
• Compatible with All Plastisol Inks – Works with standard, low-cure, and specialty plastisol inks.

Recommended Applications:

✔ Soft-Hand Prints on Apparel & Textiles – Reduces ink buildup for lighter, more breathable designs.
✔ High-Detail & Fine-Line Printing – Improves ink flow for crisp edges and precision prints.
✔ Large Coverage Prints – Enhances ink spreadability for smooth, even coverage on large prints.
✔ Multi-Color & Halftone Designs – Ensures consistent blending and color transitions.

Technical Specifications:

• Product Type: Curable Plastisol Ink Reducer
• Viscosity: Low-bodied for controlled ink thinning
• Curing Temperature: 320°F - 330°F (160°C - 165°C) for full cure
• Mixing Ratio: Add 1-5% by weight for standard reduction; adjust based on ink thickness
