Under The Sea Birthday Fish Aquarium Animals Party T-Shirt B09W8LPMNF

Ribbed fabrics are challenging for screen printing Under The Sea Birthday Fish Aquarium Animals Party T-Shirt B09W8LPMNF . The ink used is called plastisol and sits on the top of the fabric. It will not absorb into the material’s fibers. The ink must be exposed to heat then placed into an exceptionally hot dryer to cure. If these steps are not followed the design can crack when worn due to the unevenness of the ribbed fabric. Ink particles can separate as the ribbed material stretches. This will expose any material not covered with ink. The best way to combat the stretch in the fabric is by mixing a stretch additive into the ink. This makes the plastic more elastic and helps prevent cracking.
