Also available in larger quantities — 30-gallon and 55-gallon drums; call 201-487-9600 for volume and discount pricing.

What it prints on 100% polyester — jerseys, performance tees, athletic wear Spandex & performance blends — the super-stretch film moves with the fabric Poly blends & sublimated garments prone to dye migration — the bleed blocker holds color back Printing & curing Mesh: 110–160 for opacity; up to 200+ for lighter prints Squeegee: 65, 75 or 80 durometer — or a 70/90/70 triple durometer Flash: 240–260°F; keep flash low and brief to avoid triggering dye migration Cure: curing is a time-and-temperature process — bring the full ink film to 290–310°F (143–154°C); the low cure is what keeps polyester dyes from bleeding; confirm with a temp gun or donut probe, not dryer air temp Recommended companion products Nylon Bond 289 Additive — mix into this ink to bond prints to nylon and other slick synthetics (catalyst; stir in a small amount, limited pot life, always test first).
