Champion Inks® Extreme 270° Low Cure Plastisol Ink Colors – 100% Polyester
Built for heat-sensitive performance fabrics.
Champion Inks® Extreme 270° Low Cure Plastisol Ink is engineered for professional screen printers demanding low-temperature curing, high-opacity, and anti-migration performance. Designed specifically for 100% polyester, blends, and moisture-wicking fabrics, this phthalate-free ink delivers vibrant color, smooth laydown, and superior stretch—without scorching or dye bleed.
With a cure temperature as low as 270°F (132°C), it minimizes garment shrinkage and migration while producing bold, soft-hand prints that maintain durability and flexibility under active wear conditions.
