Product Description
The W.M. Plastics “PIM” system consists of 17 colors, including fluorescents, that can be used to match PANTONE colors or as direct print inks. All colors have great wet-on-wet print properties and contain a creamy body making them easy to print with. All colors are evaluated by our stringent QC process to ensure the colors are consistent from one batch to the next so your PANTONES match every time.

Special Notes: PVC inks are thermoplastic compounds that require heat to fuse or cure. If ink rubs off on a white cloth or cracks, temperature and/or dwell time should be increased. Do not dry clean and always test on fabric to be printed.
