92 Metallic Gold is a plastisol-based screen printing ink designed to produce a distinctive chrome-like metallic gold appearance on printed garments. For the best visual effect, the ink is recommended for direct printing onto the garment or fabric.
92 Metallic Gold comes ready for use and should be printed without modification. For best visual results, it should be printed last in the design to help maintain the appearance of the metallic finish.
The ink is suitable for cotton and some cotton/poly blends. It is important to note that 92 Metallic Gold is not a low-bleed ink, so fabrics should be tested for possible dye migration before beginning production.
With its metallic gold color and chrome-like appearance, 92 Metallic Gold provides a specialty plastisol option for adding a bold metallic effect to screen printed garments.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- When washing garments DO NOT USE detergent or water containing bleaching or whitening agents
92 Metallic Gold contains a high loading of un-coated metallic powders that will tarnish (turn gray) when exposed to any type of detergent or water that contains a bleaching or whitening agent. - Abrasion resistance is low
There will be some rub off of metallic particles even when the ink is properly cured/fused. It is extremely important to pre-print and test printed fabrics for wash and wear durability before beginning production.
- Forced air dryer is highly recommended
Ink will reflect infrared heat. Forced air dryer is highly recommended to properly fuse/cure this product. Complete fusion of this product may be very difficult to achieve in an infrared dryer.
To Obtain Best Wash Results: - Make sure printed inks are properly cured/fused
- Hand wash with a phosphate free detergent
- Air drying highly recommended; dulling of ink surface may be caused by heat and abrasion in a clothes dryer
- Garments printed with 92 Metallic Gold should be labeled with proper wash instructions
