Puff Ink Screen Print Run — Expanded Raised Texture Decoration
Puff Ink Screen Print Run — Expanded Raised Texture Decoration
Fashion Graphics LLC's puff ink production runs use a plastisol base blended with a proprietary puff additive that activates under high heat in the conveyor dryer — expanding the ink film to create a soft, cloud-like raised texture that retains its relief after washing. Widely used for vintage collegiate graphics, sportswear chest hits, and retail novelty programs where tactile softness and visible dimension are both required.
The puff formulation is printed through open-weave 86-mesh screens to allow maximum ink deposit, and cure temperature is carefully calibrated at 320°F so the puff additive fully activates without scorching the garment fabric.
