Direct Print Plastisol Ink
XOLB “Xtra Opaque Low Bleed” inks are high opacity multi-purpose
inks that are designed to produce extremely opaque prints yet are very
easy to print on a manual press. The smooth creamy consistency leaves a
uniform print for under-basing and can be opaque on black without a
white base with screens as fine as 160 mesh. XOLB inks are fast flashing, cure with a non-tack surface, and contain clean bright pigments.
