plastisol. This will allow the printer to make multicolor prints with foils only sticking
to the desired areas without using a water base ink. The addition of M00683 will
make the plastisol ink softer, more likely to fibrillate, and will cause crocking beyond
normal standards. Wash and crock test should be performed on the print to make
sure you achieve the desired results before running production quantities of prints.
Cure the prints as normal.
M20063 EXTENDER BASE™
Mix into the M2 ink system to extend the volume of ink. Remember as you add base,
you are reducing opacity and color strength.
MS0000 PRIMER CLEAR™

print through a wide variety of mesh ranges and will cure at 320 degrees F. (160
degrees C.)
MZ0001 FIBERBOND™
Mix 3% by weight FiberBond to colors when printing on light Cotton garments to
reduce fibrillation. Mix 7.5% by weight FiberBond to NM (Nylon Mesh Series) inks for
printing on tightly woven nylon such as umbrellas, bags and nylon jackets.
NA0005 CURABLE THINNER™
NA0005 is used to thin plastisol inks. It can be mixed into the product at any level
necessary to achieve the desired printability. Keep in mind that the more of any
thinner you add to ink, you are reducing the opacity and other properties of the
product such as low bleed. The mixture can print through a wide variety of mesh
ranges and will cure at 320 degrees F. (160 degrees C.)
17
NA0839 S.H.A.P.E.™

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PLASTISOL INKS
Plastisol Inks are widely used in garment printing because they
are easy to print, do not dry in the screen, can be opaque on dark
garments, and can adhere to most textiles. They are composed
primarily of PVC Resin (a white powder ) and plasticizer (clear
liquid). Plastisol must be heated 300 to 340 degrees F. (143 - 166
degrees C.) to dry (cure).
Controlling Dye Migration: Dye migration is the problem
caused by dyes in polyester fibers transferring to and changing
the color of plastisol inks. The colors most likely to migrate are
Red, Maroon, Kelly Green, and some of the darker Blues. Dye
migration may appear immediately after the ink is cured, or
hours, days, or up to two weeks later.
Plastisol Inks can be printed on virtually any surface that can
withstand the heat required to cure the ink and is porous
enough to permit good ink penetration. Plastisol Inks do not dye
the fibers. Instead, the ink wraps around the fibers and makes
a mechanical bonded with the fabric. For this reason, they will
not adhere to nonporous substrates such as plastic, metal, and
glass. They will also not adhere well to woven, waterproofed
nylon without adding a bonding agent (Fiber Bond).
To control dye migration use the following procedures:
For More Information About Rutland Screen Printing Products:
Technical Data Sheets and Material Safety Data Sheets for
all our products are available by fax, email or our website at
www.rutlandinc.com.
Health, Safety, and Environmental Concerns: Plastisol inks
are innocuous when used with reasonable care. A true Plastisol
ink contains no air polluting solvents and very low levels of
Volatile Organic Compounds (V.O.C.’s). The manufacture,
transportation, storage, use, and disposal of Plastisol inks do
not cause injury, illness, or environmental contamination as
long as the appropriate safety and environmental protection
procedures are followed. (See MSDS Info)
Plastisol Ink Additives: A word of caution about ink additives:
It’s easy to upset the chemical balance of plastisol inks by adding
too much or by using the wrong additives. The result can be
a print that never cures properly, a problem that may not be
discovered until your customer washes a shirt and the design
falls off. To avoid this, use only those additives recommended by
Rutland, read the Technical Data Sheets for each ink and additive,
and carefully follow the instructions. NEVER add mineral spirits
to plastisol ink. Although mineral spirits will make it easier to
print at first, later the ink will thicken up while standing. Also,
it is possible that too much mineral spirits will prevent the ink
from curing properly.
Ink Storage: Store Plastisol inks at room temperature. Prolonged
exposure to temperatures above 95 degrees F. (33 degrees C.)
can cause the ink to start to cure while still in the container.
Screen Wash Up: Clean Plastisol ink off screens with
nonhazardous screen washes, designed for Plastisol.
Stencil: For Plastisol inks use Direct, Indirect or Capillary Film
Print Washability: The washability of properly cured direct
prints and transfer prints is excellent. Do not dry clean. Do not
iron the printed part of the garment.
22
• Print with high-opacity, low-bleed inks.
• Use no more heat than necessary to cure the ink.
• Excessive heat can trigger dye migration.
• Print and Flash-Cure a low-bleed white underbase, or
Dyno Grey, then print the desired color over that.
• Avoid the problem entirely by printing on 100%
cotton fabrics.
Transfer Printing: Most Plastisol heat transfers fall into one of
three categories, hot split, cold-peel, or puff. When hot-split
transfers are applied, the paper is stripped of the garment
immediately after the heat transfers press is opened. The ink
layer splits, leaving part of the ink on the garment and part on
the transfer paper. Hot split transfers are barely indistinguishable
from a soft-hand direct print. When cold-peel transfers are
applied, the transfer is allowed to cool before the paper is
removed. All of the ink transfers from the paper to the garment.
Cold-peel transfers have a glossy surface and are preferred for
glitter transfers. Some transfers can be either hot-split or coldpeel. Puff transfers are printed with special puff transfer inks
and produce a puff design. Transfers that have been properly
printed and applied are as durable as a direct print.
Curing Transfer Prints: When printing heat transfers, the ink is
gelled or brought to a semi-cure between 180 - 250 degrees F.
(82 - 121 degrees C.) just past the wet state. If they are overcured, the ink will not transfer well. Transfers that have been
semi-cured become fully cured when they are applied to the
garment.
Testing For Cure: To determine the correct dryer settings
for transfers, increase the conveyor speed, or decrease the
temperature of the curing unit until the stacked prints begin to
stick together or show a slight amount of set off on the back of
the upper sheet, then decrease the conveyor speed enough to
eliminate the sticking. Another test for gel (through not always
accurate) is to peel the ink off the release paper and roll it into
a ball. If the ball unrolls when laid down, the transfer is over
cured. A third test is the stretch test. The ink layer should be
gelled just enough that you can peel it off the paper, but if you
stretch it, should break with very little stretch.
Always Test Inks Prior To Production Runs: Always test inks to
determine their fitness for your particular application especially
new types of inks or when printing on new substrates. Before
printing a production run, print a sample for testing of adhesion,
crocking, opacity, washability and specific job requirements.
