Plastisol Screen Printing Inks

Plastisol Screen Printing Inks for Textile Printing

Plastisol inks are the professional standard in textile screen printing. Unlike water-based inks, plastisol does not dry in air — it stays printable until cured with heat. This eliminates the problem of screens drying out during printing runs and guarantees brilliant colours, full coverage and superior wash resistance.

In this category you'll find Keygadgets plastisol inks selected for screen printing on T-shirts, hoodies and cotton or cotton-blend garments — including dark fabrics, where plastisol provides opacity and brilliance that water-based inks cannot match.

When to choose plastisol?

• Printing on dark fabrics — plastisol covers perfectly even on black and deep colours
• Production runs — doesn't dry on screen, allows long print sessions
• High wash resistance — heat curing ensures durability superior to water-based inks
• Brilliant, saturated colours — vivid results with high visual impact
• Professional printing — the industry standard for T-shirts, merchandise and promotional apparel

How is plastisol cured?

Plastisol requires heat to cure: 160–180°C for 3–5 minutes. Suitable equipment: flash dryer, heat press or professional conveyor dryer. Not compatible with simple heat guns for occasional small jobs — for that use case, water-based ink is recommended.

All our plastisol inks are compatible with K-SER Zero and K-SER1 Evo machines and standard aluminium and wood frames.
