Bleed Resistant Plastisol Ink – 62 Colors – For Cotton & 50/50 Blends

Bleed Resistant Plastisol Ink is our dye-blocking ink for 100% cotton and 50/50 cotton-poly blends — its bleed-resistant chemistry holds back the polyester dye migration that turns brights and whites dingy on blended garments, while staying low-bleed with great stretch. Bold, opaque color in 62 colors, cures at 320–350°F. CPSIA-compliant and phthalate-free, made in Hackensack, New Jersey.

62 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 201-487-9600 for volume and discount pricing.

Always run a test print first. Before any production run, print and fully cure a test on your exact garment and check opacity, hand, dye migration and wash-fastness. It's the best habit in the shop — if you're not sure on settings, call us at 201-487-9600 before you run the job.

What it prints on

• 100% cotton — full opacity, bright color
• 50/50 cotton/poly blends — the bleed-resistant chemistry holds back dye migration from the polyester
• For dark or high-bleed 100% polyester, step up to our Athletic or Sport poly line

Printing & curing

• Mesh: 110–160 for maximum opacity; finer (200–355) for detail and halftones
• Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer for sharp edges with easy fill
• Flash: 240–260°F between colors; keep flash brief on blends to avoid triggering dye migration
• Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 320–350°F (160–177°C); confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp

Safety, PPE & storage

• Wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses; avoid prolonged skin contact with uncured ink.
• Print with adequate ventilation; curing releases vapors — vent your dryer.
• Always stir the ink before use.
• Storage & shelf life: keep sealed and out of direct sunlight. Shelf life 1–2 years. In high heat expect some expansion in the container — open carefully. Do not freeze.
• Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use.
