High Opaque White Plastisol Ink – For 100% Cotton

High Opaque White Plastisol Ink is a maximum-opacity white optimized for 100% cotton — a bright, dense, low-bleed white that covers dark garments and makes a dependable flash underbase. It's stretchable and cures at 330–350°F. 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 877-937-6400 for volume and discount pricing.

Features & benefits

• Maximum opacity — bright, dense white coverage on dark 100% cotton
• Dependable flash underbase — solid base for colors on darks
• Low-bleed & stretchable — clean coverage that moves with the garment
• Creamy & print-ready — smooth lay-down 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 and wash-fastness. It's the best habit in the shop — if you're not sure on settings, call us at 877-937-6400 before you run the job.

What it prints on

• 100% cotton — its sweet spot: maximum opacity, clean bright white
• Runs as a flash underbase under bright colors on dark cotton
• Cotton-rich blends print well; for high-bleed poly pair with a grey blocker 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 when used as an underbase
• Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 330–350°F (166–177°C); confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp
