Is there any way to thin Plastisol ink without losing too much opacity?
I have a pot of white plastisol and it is so thick it hardly even prints. I am having so much trouble finding a good, printable opaque white ink in the UK! Im tearing my hair out!!!
I use Union Ultrasoft - it's opaque but a little softer and thinner than standard opaque white plastisol. It's still pretty thick though. Also, make sure you're mixing the ink enough before printing - especially with white, it gets really thick sitting on the shelf.
I know you've already tried this but--
Have you atatched an electric drill with a paint Mixer and stired your ink.
Kept the white ink in a cabinet witha light on ( keep it warm)
Mix in some Cyan to tint the Ink. It will make it thinner without losing anything. The ink might look a little blue but when you put it on a dark color ( instant White)
Yes you can use a reducer/thinner on the ink but remember the more you add the less cover your going to get
Pwear, Denck, Cheers for the advice, I will try mixing a little cyan with the ink to thin it out, I have stirred it relentlessly but it is still too thick!
I use Ryonet White...nice and opaque and creamy not super thick..but I have found it good to stir it around a little bit and keep it in a warmer area of the shop..Sometimes before I print I will leave it in the sun for a bit to get it to spread easier...
I also have used it with reducer on a 220 mesh screen flashed and printed again and got great results.
Try it you might like it...or use a curable reducer.
White plastisol ink is far too thick...
