Champion Inks® Metallic Black Plastisol Ink
Deep mirror-black brilliance for precision and style.
Champion Inks® Metallic Black Plastisol Ink is a phthalate-free, high-opacity metallic ink engineered to deliver a stunning, reflective black finish with exceptional flexibility and durability. Designed for cotton, polyester, and cotton/poly blends, it provides strong adhesion and requires no underbase—simply apply two hits per color for an intense metallic sheen that flows smoothly and moves naturally with the fabric.
Formulated with a low-cure temperature of 300°F (149°C), this ink reduces fabric stress and prevents dye migration while maintaining a flawless, high-gloss black metallic surface that enhances fashion, performance, and specialty prints.
