robalo01 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I am looking for options in colorants. Has anyone ever tried screen printing plastisol inks? A German company named Nazdar sell some pigment powder for mixing base plastisol that looks interesting. Has anyone ever tried them?

Baitjunkys Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I have experimented with them all, Nazdar is USA also, they are way to transparent.. Reason they print white underlays on anything dark. Edited January 19, 2018 by Baitjunkys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalo01 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Are you using the ink? or the pigment powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Liquid pigment, the powder is not gonna color your plastic, Powder pigment has to be ran thru a mill. Or it has to be a dye, so it actually disolves and disperses. Any powdered pigment i have ever used just leaves dots... Reason they run it thru the mill... So it disperses with the carrier.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalo01 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I just got some. I cut it with softener. Looks good. I am going to give it a try this weekend. It looks REALLY strong. 5 grams in 100ml of softner (Neon Yellow) is completely opaque. This stuff is made to mix with clear Plastisol base for screen printing. They have 5 neon colors.

Baitjunkys Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just now, Anglinarcher said: The real question is about at least for me. No question, It is 99% the same stuff, Most plastic manufactures manufacture screen printing ink as well..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
