Athletic White Polyester Plastisol Ink - 100% Polyesters

Athletic White Polyester Plastisol Ink is a high-opacity, low-cure white engineered for 100% polyester and spandex — a bright, dense white that prints direct or lays down as a bleed-resistant underbase, its dye-blocking chemistry and low cure stopping polyester dyes from migrating or ghosting through. The super-stretch film flexes with performance fabric without cracking. CPSIA-compliant and phthalate-free, made in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Pint through 55 gallon. Heat cure. Made in the USA.

Also available in larger quantities — 30-gallon and 55-gallon drums; call 201-487-9600 for volume and discount pricing.

Features & benefits

• Bleed-resistant dye-migration blocker — stops polyester dyes from ghosting into your white
• Super-stretch — flexes with spandex and performance fabric without cracking
• Low cure (290–310°F) — runs cool to protect heat-sensitive poly and save energy
• Maximum opacity — bright, dense white; direct print or a dependable poly underbase
• Creamy & print-ready — smooth flow on manual or automatic presses
• Pint to 55 gallon — stock sizes plus drums for production shops
• CPSIA-compliant & phthalate-free — safe for kids' apparel, made in the USA

Always run a test print first. Before any production run, print and fully cure a test on your exact garment and check opacity, hand, dye migration and wash-fastness. It's the best habit in the shop — if you're not sure on settings, call us at 201-487-9600 before you run the job.

What it prints on

• 100% polyester — jerseys, performance tees, athletic wear
• Spandex & performance blends — the super-stretch film moves with the fabric
• Poly blends & sublimated garments prone to dye migration — runs as a bleed-blocking white underbase

Printing & curing

• Mesh: 110–160 for maximum opacity; up to 200+ for a lighter deposit
• Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer
• Flash: 240–260°F; keep flash low and brief to avoid triggering dye migration
• Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 290–310°F (143–154°C); the low cure is what keeps polyester dyes from bleeding; confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp

Recommended companion products

• Nylon Bond 289 Additive — mix into this ink to bond prints to nylon and other slick synthetics (catalyst; stir in a small amount, limited pot life, always test first).
• Quick Flash Reducer — thins for easier printing.
• Soft Hand Base — softer hand feel.
• UMX® Custom Color Match — send us your target color reference and we custom-mix the color for you (plastisol, solvent, UV & water-base).
• Cleanup: OPTI Wash 125 and OPTI Spot 303.

Safety, PPE & storage

• Wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses; avoid prolonged skin contact with uncured ink.
• Print with adequate ventilation; vent your dryer.
• Always stir before use.
• Storage & shelf life: keep sealed, out of sun. Shelf life 1–2 years. As an all-polyester low-cure ink, store at 60–80°F. In high heat expect container expansion — open carefully. Do not freeze.
• Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use.
