Silicone ink is a high-performance ink used for fabric printing, especially on synthetic and stretchy materials like polyester, nylon, and spandex. It’s widely used in sportswear, swimwear, and activewear printing because of its durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking or fading.
Advantages of Silicone Ink for Fabric Printing:
- Stretchability: Ideal for elastic fabrics, as it moves with the material without cracking.
- Durability: Resistant to washing, fading, and abrasion.
- Soft Feel: Provides a smooth, slightly rubbery texture.
- High Opacity: Vibrant colors even on dark fabrics.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Many silicone inks are phthalate-free and comply with environmental regulations.
Common Applications:
- Screen Printing on Apparel: Used for T-shirts, hoodies, and performance wear.
- Heat Transfers: Some silicone inks are formulated for heat transfer applications.
- Raised or Puff Effects: Can create 3D or high-density prints
