The hardest part with using plastisol inks at home is curing. I’ll be posting a new video today about flash cure units and other options for the home printer.

The part you would have to check is the emulsion. Some emulsions which are made for water based inks will prematurely break down when other inks are used on them. This works the other way around too. Using water based ink on an emulsion that is not water proof may also cause breakdown of the stencil. However; the biggest drawback for home printers and plastisol ink is that it needs to be cured with heat. So you need a flash cure unit or a belt dryer. But if you choose to use plastisol inks, they should work just fine with a Yudu screen. The mesh count of the Yudu screen is another story.

I don't think we can use plastisol inks with our Yudu screens. Do you know how we would be able to tell? Thanks for a great post Jonathan.
