Overprint Clear Gel Plastisol Ink – Gloss Finish for High-Definition Prints on Cotton & Blends

Overprint Clear Gel Plastisol Ink is a clear gloss gel printed over your design for a high-gloss, high-definition finish and added durability — and it doubles as a clear base or extender. It prints crystal-clear and cures at 300–310°F on cotton and blends. CPSIA-compliant and phthalate-free, made in Hackensack, New Jersey.

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.

Features & benefits

• High-gloss clear finish — overprint your design for a wet, glossy look
• High-definition detail — sharp, protective clear layer
• Doubles as a clear base/extender — stretch color or knock back opacity
• Cures 300–310°F — for cotton and blends
• 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 opacity, hand 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

• Over any plastisol print — flood a clear gloss coat over the cured design
• Cotton & blends — high-gloss finish or clear base/extender

Printing & curing

• Mesh: 110–230 depending on gloss and detail
• 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 300–310°F (150–154°C); confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp
