Rapid Cure® Screen Printing Ink Black (Quart - 32oz.) - Plastisol Ink for Screen Printing, Fast Curing Fabric Paint - Screen Print Direct®, USA Made

I am a complete novice, this was literally my first/only time trying a plastisol ink, so I have no point of reference if this stuff is good or bad. But for me, it seemed to work just fine printing t-shirts using my xTool screen printing setup. I ended up starting with the ink at the rear of the screen, doing a full pressure pull stroke, flipping the squeegee around and then doing a full pressure "reverse pull" back across to bring the ink back to the rear of the screen. I tried more conventional flood/print approach, but got best results just using full pressure for both pulls. It was definitely easier to work with than the xTool included water base ink that dries so ridiculously fast. Once I got the hang of working with this ink and figured out the pressure/ squeegee angle that gave a good print, I was able to turn out 30 shirts pretty quickly with few errors. I used a single quarter between the shirt and the frame to set the off-contact. Ink seemed to cure easily at the specified temp and has lasted fine so far. I will say to do your research on how much ink is needed for your project, I overbought by a huge amount and from what I understand, it does go bad so I doubt I will be able to use it all before it has gone bad. I should have bought a smaller size. I definitely recommend using plastisol instead of water based ink for fellow newbies, the slightly more unpleasant cleanup at the end is worth the much easier printing process with no worries about things drying out while you are printing. I'd also recommend getting some (and by some, I mean many) junk shirts to practice on first because it took me a while to figure out what combination of pressure and angles produced a good print. And err on the side of pushing less ink through at first and work your way up to more, because once you start blowing out the bottom of your design and getting ink all over the bottom of the screen, its a pain to get the screen cleaned up. So start slow and scarce and work your way up until you are pushing out the right amount of ink to get a full print without forcing too much extra ink out onto the bottom of the screen.

I think it works okay. This was my first go at screen printing. The colors definitely looked way better after I started putting this on them. The low temperature curing is convenient too. I used a temperature gun to check the temp during that process.

Great ink, but if you are using it for the first time after using water based inks make sure you order some plastisol screen cleaner to go with ink. Water will not clean your screen.

We love Rapid Cure at our shop. It's all we use. However...the prices are getting crazy. Like everything else!

I used this on a shirt project for Christmas... The color is amazing! It was shiny and silvery, and cured quickly with heat.It's super important to follow the instructions, and have remover on hand for your screen.This does not dry in your screen, which I loved, because I could screen, heat, and get the next shirt ready without drying.

The media could not be loaded.  I saw some other people leave reviews mentioning their ink was hard/unuseable upon arrival. I grabbed my package as soon as it arrived at my doorstep and I opened it. I don't think the issue heat outside causing it to cure since it was delivered at night in New York (although it might be, but ive had no issues with any other ink I've had delivered). When I opened the container the seal was broken and the ink was a semi-solid mush. Hopeful that by ordering a replacement it will go better this time. Will update soon contingent on a better second delivery.

My wife, who does screen printing, says that this is the best plastisol ink that she has ever used!! Ease of application and ease of cleaning are both superior. Nothing more needs to be said.

Easy to use, harder to clean but very durable.
