High-Performance Plastisol Ink Tools & Additives

Precision and consistency are the hallmarks of a professional print shop. Lawson’s curated selection of plastisol ink tools and accessories is designed to streamline your workflow, from initial ink preparation to final cleanup. Whether you are looking to modify ink viscosity for a softer feel or need the right Ink Scraper to minimize waste, we provide the industrial-grade supplies required for high-volume production.

Optimize Your Ink Performance

Not every job requires "out-of-the-box" ink consistency. Our range of Plastisol Additives, including the popular MSB-100 Clear Soft Hand Extender, allows you to achieve the soft, breathable feel of water-based prints while maintaining the ease of use of plastisol. For inks that have thickened over time, our Thinner DT/Reducer #4 provides an immediate solution to reach the perfect printing viscosity without sacrificing color opacity.

Professional Mixing & Cleanup Tools

Efficiency in the bucket leads to efficiency on the press. Upgrade your mixing station with a Lawson Mixer Drill Attachment for effortless homogenization of large batches, or utilize our Stainless Steel Ink Spatulas for precise color blending. Once the run is complete, our PW-305 Press Wash and Squeegee Cards ensure a fast, thorough cleanup, protecting your Squeegees and screens for their next use.

FAQ: Plastisol Ink Tools

How do I make plastisol ink feel softer on a shirt?
You can achieve a "soft-hand" feel by adding a specialized base like MSB-100 Clear Soft Hand Extender. This thins the ink deposit without compromising the ink's ability to cure.

What is the best tool for cleaning ink off a screen?
For efficient cleanup, we recommend using Squeegee Cards to scrape excess ink back into the bucket, followed by a high-quality solvent like PW-305 Press Wash to remove residue.

Can I use a regular drill to mix screen printing ink?
Yes, but you need a specialized attachment. The Lawson Mixer Drill Attachment is designed specifically to handle the high viscosity of plastisol ink without introducing excessive air bubbles.
