Icon Cotton White Faster Fusion Plastisol Ink

Icon Fast Cotton White Plastisol Ink for High-Opacity Printing

Icon Fast Cotton White offers high opacity and a soft-hand finish for 100% cotton, and blended textiles. It provides excellent coverage on dark fabrics with a soft feel and exceptional flexibility. This plastisol ink prints more easily and smoothly due to its unique formulation, reducing fatigue for manual printing and allowing lower pressure settings on automatic screen printing machines to extend screen longevity. It works with any durometer and mesh count, delivering ultra-bright white color with excellent opacity, good bleed resistance, fast-flashing, and semi-thick viscosity. Features include no odor and a soft-hand finish.
