Sport White™ Ink is a low-cure, low-bleed stretch plastisol ink formulated for 100% polyester, polyester/cotton blends, and 100% cotton. Its superior bleed resistance helps control dye migration on polyester fabrics, while enhanced optical brightness provides a clean, bright white appearance.
Designed with additional stretch for athletic garments, Sport White™ provides the flexibility needed for apparel that moves and stretches. Its medium-body consistency delivers excellent printability and a good hand, making it suitable for a variety of textile screen printing applications.
Sport White™ performs well on both manual presses and automatic presses and features a fast flash with little tack for efficient production. The ink can cure as low as 270°F, helping maintain bleed resistance on polyester garments. It can also cure at 320°F, although higher curing temperatures may reduce its bleed resistance.

Recommended Fabrics:
100% Polyester, 100% Cotton, and Cotton/Polyester blends. Always test print fabric before beginning a production run.
Ink Application:
Sport White™ should be used right from the container without any modifications. If thinning is required, use 1% to 10% by weight of a Curable Low Bleed Reducer. Adding any reducers or additives can lower the bleed resistance, opacity, or increase cure times of ink. STIR the ink prior to printing on press and after addition of reducers or additives.
Mesh and Emulsion:
85-230 t/in monofilament or, for under basing, use 85-110 t/in monofilament (for best bleed resistance).
Any direct or indirect emulsion or capillary film in the 35 to 70 micron range, for best results.
Squeegee:
65-70 Durometer, Sharp Edge
Cure Temperatures:
270°F entire ink film for multiple color prints. It can be cured at 320°F but bleed resistance will be reduced. Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run.
Clean-Up:
Any environmentally friendly plastisol screen wash
Storage:
Recommend storage at 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Keep containers well sealed
