Why is the Plastisol ink so thick?
Plastisol ink will develop “false body” in the can and appear too thick. The ink must be mixed vigorously before judging it’s true thickness. Plastisol will loosen even more on the press. So don’t judge your ink as it comes in the can. Many inks will benefit from the addition of additives like extender to increase transparency and soft hand or reducer to decrease viscocity.
