Leoball® 3D Puff Ink Ready to USE for Puffed/Embossed/Raised Prints – Fabric Water-Based Screen Printing Ink for T-Shirt and Silkscreen Printmaking, 4 Ounce jar (Black)
TRANSFORM DESIGNS INTO 3D MASTERPIECES: Ever marvelled at the raised logos on your favourite sports jerseys, 3D designs on your favourite t-shirts, or the textured details on luxury packaging? Now, imagine bringing that same level of tactile appeal to your own designs effortlessly.
HOW IT WORKS: Applying our puff ink is as straightforward as traditional screen printing. Simply apply the ink to your screen and print as you normally would, resulting in bold, normal-looking prints. Allow the printed surface to dry for a few minutes. Once dry, applying heat activates the ink, causing it to expand and rise, resulting in a raised, three-dimensional effect. It's a seamless process of printing, drying, and applying heat.
PERMANENT EFFECTS: After heat setting, our puff ink's raised prints become permanent fixtures on the fabric, ensuring lasting texture and appearance. Professional heat curing equipment ensures controlled results throughout your large production runs, but even a regular heating iron can be used effectively to activate the ink by simply ironing behind the print area.
VERSATILE: While perfect for printing on a range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, linen, rayon, nylon, and other synthetics, our puff ink can also enhance paper, cardboard, and certain types of wood, opening up a world of creative possibilities beyond apparel.
ADJUSTABLE RAISED EFFECT: The degree to which your print raises depends on the thickness of the ink layer in your design. Additionally, the amount of heat you apply directly affects the raised effect. We recommend conducting a trial run to determine the optimal combination of ink and heat for your desired result, ensuring perfect raised prints every time.
SIMPLIFIED APPLICATION: Our water-based puff ink offers vibrant color, ultra-low odor, great coverage, zero lumps, and consistent workability. Due to our optimal drying time, ink will never dry on your screen and clog your designs while you are still printing, after which it easily cleans up with soap and water. Third-party lab tested to ensure that inks you use are safe and non-toxic.
EXPECTED COLOR AFTER RISING: It's normal for the raised print to appear lighter than the original ink color. We've adjusted the ink color accordingly, so you can expect a hue similar to the one depicted on the label of the jar after heat curing.
READY TO USE: Unlike most manufacturers that require additives to transform normal inks into puff inks, our product is specially formulated and comes ready to use straight out of the jar. With no further addition needed, simply open the jar and start printing as advised.
