Plastisol Screen Printing

Plastisol ink is the industry-standard choice for screen printing — known for its vibrant color, durability, and consistent results across a wide range of fabrics. It's the go-to method for most custom apparel orders.

Why Plastisol?

• Bold, opaque color that shows up well on dark garments
• Long-lasting — resists cracking and fading through repeated washes
• Consistent, professional results at any order size
• Works on cotton, polyester blends, and most fabric types

How It Works

Plastisol ink sits on top of the fabric rather than soaking in, then is cured with heat to permanently bond it to the garment. This gives it that classic, slightly raised screen-print feel and rich color saturation.

FAQs About Plastisol Screen Printing in Los Angeles

Is plastisol printing good for dark shirts?
Yes — plastisol ink is opaque, meaning it shows up vibrantly on dark and colored garments without the design showing through from the fabric color.

How long does plastisol ink last?
With proper care, plastisol prints can last for years without cracking or significant fading.

What's the difference between plastisol and water-based ink?
Plastisol sits on top of the fabric with a slightly raised feel and bold color, while water-based ink soaks into the fabric for a softer, more breathable finish.

Can plastisol printing handle multi-color designs?
Yes, plastisol is well suited for multi-color and detailed designs with crisp registration.
