Questions & Answers

What is Scarlet Dynamic Ink best used for?
Scarlet DI‑500 is ideal for scarlet red spot colors on school and college apparel, team uniforms, spirit wear, and brand graphics that specify a Pantone‑1795C‑style warm red.

Is Scarlet Dynamic Ink low‑cure?
Yes. The Dynamic Ink Series is a soft‑hand, fast‑flashing, low‑cure plastisol system that typically cures at about 270–280°F at the ink film, helping reduce dye migration and energy use compared to standard 320°F cure inks.

How opaque is Scarlet Dynamic Ink?
Scarlet DI‑500 is described as having semi‑opaque opacity with a semi‑gloss finish and fair‑to‑good bleed resistance, providing strong color on light garments and solid results over a white underbase on dark garments.

What fabrics can I print with Scarlet Dynamic Ink?
Dynamic RFU inks are designed to print on cotton and 50/50 garments out of the bucket and also perform well on many polyester and blended fabrics when combined with appropriate low‑bleed whites or blocking underbases and a low‑cure profile.

Do I need to add reducer or other additives?
No. Scarlet Dynamic Ink is press‑ready with no modification; it is creamy straight from the bucket. If you need to tweak flow or hand for a specific job, add small amounts of curable reducer or soft‑hand additives only in test batches and always verify opacity and cure before production.

Can I mix Scarlet with other Dynamic colors?
Yes. Dynamic colors are formulated to intermix easily, so you can blend Scarlet with Bright Red DI‑502, Cherry Red DI‑505, or Red DI‑125 LB to create custom scarlet, cardinal, and school reds without compromising low‑cure performance.

What mesh counts work well with Scarlet Dynamic Ink?
For strong coverage and solid blocks, many printers use 110–160 mesh, and move up to 196–230+ mesh when they want a softer hand or finer detail, especially on light garments or smooth white underbases.

Is Scarlet Dynamic Ink compliant for kids’ and retail garments?
Dynamic plastisol inks are lead‑free and phthalate‑free and are formulated to meet CPSC HF‑4040 and CA Prop 65 requirements when properly cured, making Scarlet suitable for children’s apparel and retail programs.

Does Scarlet Dynamic Ink work with standard emulsions and capillary films?
Yes. Scarlet DI‑500 works with all common direct emulsions and capillary films, so you can keep your existing coating, exposure, and reclaiming processes without special chemistry.

Where can I get help dialing in Scarlet Dynamic Ink?
Lawson’s support teams in St. Louis, Missouri and Marietta (Atlanta), Georgia can help you choose mesh counts, squeegees, underbases, flash parameters, and low‑cure dryer settings tailored to Scarlet Dynamic Ink and your specific equipment.

Scarlet Dynamic Plastisol Ink (DI‑500) is a ready‑for‑use scarlet red ink designed to hit Pantone‑style reds similar to Pantone 1795C on t‑shirts, hoodies, and team uniforms. As part of Lawson’s Dynamic Ink Series developed in St. Louis, Missouri with Multi‑Technologies, Scarlet DI‑500 is tuned for smooth printing and a soft hand on both manual and automatic presses.

This low‑cure scarlet plastisol features a semi‑gloss finish, semi‑opaque opacity, and fair‑to‑good bleed resistance, making it a versatile warm red for sports, spirit wear, and brand work. Dynamic Ink is creamy out of the bucket, requires no reducer, flashes quickly, and cures at just 270–280°F at the ink film, helping reduce dye migration and minimize scorching on cotton, 50/50s, and many blends.

Scarlet DI‑500 is part of Lawson’s lineup of opaque, vibrant colors, and works with all types of direct emulsions and capillary films, so it fits easily into standard textile screen printing workflows. It delivers excellent mileage and low after‑flash tack, allowing you to print wet‑on‑wet with minimal screen build‑up and keep production moving on both short runs and large orders.

Because Dynamic Ink colors intermix cleanly, you can blend Scarlet with Bright Red, Cherry Red, and Warm Red in the Dynamic range to dial in specific school, club, and brand reds without sacrificing low‑cure performance. The entire Dynamic series is lead‑free and phthalate‑free, with great elongation and shelf life, making Scarlet DI‑500 a strong option for retail programs and children’s apparel in St. Louis, the Midwest, and nationwide.

When you order Scarlet Dynamic Plastisol Ink from Lawson, you get fast U.S. shipping and convenient local pickup in St. Louis, Missouri and Marietta, Georgia, backed by Lawson’s screen printing support team. Lawson specialists can help you choose mesh counts, squeegees, underbases, and low‑cure dryer settings so your scarlet prints stay consistent from first sample through full production.
