i tried printing 3 coat of the ink and when i stretch the shirt, it cracks alittle bit, so i'm thinking if i print it with 3 coats flash it and then print it again with 3 coats it shouldn't crack....am i right?
what mesh are you using. More than likely the ink isnt cracking but your seeig the shirt weave spreading and showing the material under the black ink. The ink will stretch a little yet without an additive it will only stretch so far
You should not need to print 3 times with black ink on a white t.
I'm Usinga 110 Mesh Screen, What About For White Ink On Black Shirts? Oh Yeah, Whats The Difference Between Plastisol Ink And Waterbased Ink, Which Is Better?
wait i'm confused, do you cure water based ink the same as plastisol ink?
Basically yes. There are additional ways you can cure waterbased (iron, heat press, adding a catalyst to the ink), but the best ways (conveying oven) are the same.
can you also flash waterbased ink? plastisol is the ink which you can't iron on the design right? and waterbased ink is the one that you can right? is plastisol ink the ink that is rough to the touch, and water base is soft to the touch?
Like any other method, that depends on whether or not it's properly cured. As people have said, the only way to properly cure plastisol is with a conveyor (tunnel) dryer. Other methods can work (including a flash, which is at least better than a heat gun), but they are not reliable.
