I am attempting to screen print a logo on towels for a school sponsorship. Someone told me that I needed to use a softner when I do this. The proble is I bought the softner, but there are no instructions on how to use it. Do I just add some to the paint? How much do I add? Is it necessary to use this stuff?

Plasticol inks?
what did you get? Softhand or Cureable reducer
What brand?

I would recommend using a cureable reducer and mixing as much as 50/50. Depending on your dryer/heat source you might be able to go up to 75% reducer

Is your reducer a catalyst or is it a thinning agent?
I'm printing on towels and I am always looking for way to get a good hand with plastisol inks. But I find the only way to get a good hand is to use water base. The problem with this is it makes me lower my belt speed on my dryer.

I would use waterbase ink. I thinks it's the only way it would feel soft enough.

Thanks but the drying time kills my production.
