International Coatings Company has launched Unicorn White, a plastisol ink designed specifically for screen printing on polyester and problematic synthetic fabrics.
Engineered with ultra-low bleed and fast-flash technology, Unicorn White combats dye migration issues commonly faced by screen printers using cotton/poly blends and most polyester substrates.
Its advanced composition provides crisp and vibrant prints on a variety of polyester-based garments, promising “ease of printability and creamy viscosity”.
Unlike traditional polyester whites that require a lot of squeegee pressure to clear the screen, Unicorn White allows for more effortless, smoother printing.
According to International Coatings, reduced pressure improves print consistency, enhances production efficiency and, for manual printers, minimises printer fatigue.
Unicorn White is part of the company’s FlexCure line which means it can be cured across a range of temperatures. For Unicorn White, that range is 135C to 163C.
The fast flashing and low tack help assure smooth performance, leading to increased production speeds, while Unicorn White’s soft and creamy consistency means it clears the screen easily and lays down an opaque print with little pressure.
Mark Brouillard, product manager at International Coatings, said: “Screen printers have long struggled with the challenges of polyester printing and dye migration. With Unicorn White, we’re delivering a solution that enhances efficiency and ease of use. It’s a game-changer for any print shop working with polyester fabrics.”
Unicorn White is available through International Coatings’ exclusive network of distributor companies including Screen Print World in the UK.
