Screen Print Direct Rapid Cure Glow Plastisol Ink - 237 ml, Low-Temp Cure & High Opacity

Rapid Cure® Glow Plastisol Ink is a fast-curing, high-opacity plastisol ink that glows in the dark and cures at lower temperatures for reliable, vibrant screen printing results.

Designed for hobbyists and professional printers alike, this 8 oz Rapid Cure® Glow ink from Screen Print Direct reduces cure temperature while delivering bold, opaque prints on cotton and poly blends. It’s formulated to work with heat presses, conveyor driers, flash units, or heat guns, and provides a long shelf life so you can stock up without waste. The glow effect adds eye-catching, low-light impact to apparel, accessories, and transfers while maintaining the handling and layering benefits of traditional plastisol.

How does Rapid Cure® Glow make printing faster and easier?

Rapid Cure® Glow lowers the required cure temperature compared with standard plastisol, meaning shorter dwell times and less energy use on many heaters. Its short body and medium viscosity flow well through screens, making registration and multi-layer work simpler for both single-colour and simulated process designs.

• Cures as low as 270°F — speeds production and reduces heat exposure.
• Short body for easier off-contact printing and cleaner squeegee release.
• Consistent opacity for fewer passes and sharper details.
• Works with heat press, conveyor, flash, or heat gun for flexible workflows.

Will this ink work on the fabrics I use most often?

Yes — Rapid Cure® Glow was formulated for common garment fabrics, especially cotton and cotton/polyester blends. It resists bleeding into polyester-rich fabrics and is suitable for plastisol transfers, including cold peel and heat-applied transfers.

• Good adhesion on cotton and cotton/poly blends.
• Low bleed properties for safer printing on polyester blends.
• Compatible with transfer papers and cold-peel transfer methods.
• Maintains glow and opacity after proper curing.

What finish and handling can I expect from this glow ink?

Expect a bold, highly opaque finish with a slight plastisol hand that stays soft after curing, depending on deposit thickness. The glow effect is most pronounced after charging under light; layering is straightforward because the ink lays down smoothly and stacks without excessive tack between passes.

• Highly opaque, vibrant finish for solid coverage.
• Glow phase activates after exposure to light; visible in low-light conditions.
• Short open time and quick tack development for reliable multi-colour builds.
• Non-phthalate and CPSIA-compliant for safer consumer goods.

How should I cure, store, and maintain Rapid Cure® Glow?

Cure the ink to its recommended temperature (as low as 270°F) using a heat press, conveyor dryer, or heat gun; follow equipment guidelines for dwell time and temperature to reach full wash durability. Store sealed at moderate temperatures away from direct sunlight; unopened ink maintains performance for over 12 months under normal conditions.

• Recommended cure: around 270°F; adjust time depending on equipment and ink deposit thickness.
• Compatible curing methods: heat press, conveyor dryer, flash dryer, or heat gun.
• Store sealed in a cool, dry place — shelf life exceeds 12 months unopened.
• Shake or stir before use to ensure uniform glow pigments and consistency.

Who is this for? Rapid Cure® Glow plastisol ink is tailored to small shops, custom printers, DIY makers, and production houses that want the convenience of lower-temperature curing with a dramatic glow-in-the-dark effect. If you print on tees, hoodies, or transfer media and need dependable opacity, manageable handling, and long shelf life, this 8 oz option from Screen Print Direct is a practical, USA-made choice.
