Puff Plastisol Ink – 56 Colors – Raised Puff Print for Cotton, Polyester & Blends

Puff Plastisol Ink rises and expands as it cures for a soft, raised, three-dimensional puff print in 56 colors. Built on our low-cure performance chemistry, it cures cool at 290–310°F, stays super-stretch and bleed-resistant, and gives a bold, tactile finish on polyester, spandex and performance blends. CPSIA-compliant and phthalate-free, made in Hackensack, New Jersey.

56 colors. Pint, quart, gallon and 5 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

• Raised 3D puff effect — rises when cured for a soft, dimensional print
• 56 colors — bold, tactile coverage
• Low cure (290–310°F) — runs cool; super-stretch and bleed-resistant
• Soft, flexible hand — the puff film moves with the garment
• CPSIA-compliant & phthalate-free — 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 the effect, 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% 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 — the bleed blocker holds color back

Printing & curing

• Mesh: 60–110 for a full, high-rise puff; finer mesh for a lower rise
• Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer
• Flash: 240–260°F between colors
• 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.
