When normal inks and polyester paint come into contact, a chemical reaction can occur. This is because most normal inks are water-based or solvent-based, and polyester paint is a thermosetting paint that hardens at high temperatures. You can find the solution to this problem in this blog.
When normal inks are applied to polyester paint, they can penetrate the paint and interact with the chemical components of the paint. This can cause the ink to bleed into the paint, mixing the color of the ink with the color of the paint. Therefore causing the original colors to fade and discolor. This can happen, for example, when printing on colored polyester garments.
To avoid this, inks designed specifically for printing on polyester materials can be used. These inks are usually silicone-based and can resist the high temperatures required to harden the polyester paint. That way, the risk of the ink bleeding into the paint is significantly reduced.
There is no color migration between the silicone ink and polyester dye, allowing the ink to be applied perfectly to colored polyester textiles. In addition, silicone transfers are very stretchy and durable, which makes it extremely interesting for use on stretchy garments such as sports T-shirts, swimwear and even softshells.
