Texsource - SHIM 11537 Silver Foil

A: Hello Harold. Some dulling is, of course, expected in all inks especially after the first wash. The issue is that shimmer inks, by their nature, will appear to dull more than standard color plastisol colors. The key to reduce the effect as much as possible is proper curing. You can print on test pellons with different curing times and temperatures, mark them appropriately, and do a test wash of those. You will be able to see which ones marked showed the least dulling in this manner. Hope this helps! Answer provided by:  Administrator (12/16/2014)

A: Hello Kenny, thanks for the questions. As this is a plastisol you can print on top of it, but as it is a special effects ink it may be a thicker ink that what you are used to. As always, attempt a test print on a pellon and analyze the results of your particular print, but yes you should be able to print on top under most circumstances.
