CCI D-FLO Hot Pink Discharge Ink - 1 Gallon
Professional hot pink water-based discharge ink formulated for textile screen printing, producing soft-hand, vibrant prints on suitable dischargeable garments while replacing the garment dye rather than creating a heavy ink deposit.
Characteristics
CCI D-FLO Hot Pink Discharge Ink is a professional textile screen printing ink designed to produce vibrant hot pink prints with an exceptionally soft hand on suitable dischargeable fabrics. The discharge process works by removing or altering the existing garment dye and replacing it with printed color, allowing decorators to achieve bright designs on dark garments without the heavy feel associated with traditional high-opacity ink systems.
Designed for water-based discharge printing applications, D-FLO Hot Pink penetrates into the fabric rather than building a thick ink layer on top of the garment. Once properly printed and cured, the result is a lightweight, breathable print that becomes part of the fabric and provides a comfortable, retail-quality feel.
D-FLO Hot Pink is particularly useful for dark-colored garments where a bright pink image and soft hand are desired. The discharge process can reduce or eliminate the need for a traditional white underbase on compatible garments, helping maintain a softer finished print while simplifying certain production workflows.
Successful discharge printing depends heavily on the garment being decorated. Different fabric dyes, garment colors, manufacturing processes, and fabric blends can produce different discharge results. For this reason, testing the actual production garment before beginning a full production run is strongly recommended.
CCI D-FLO Hot Pink Discharge Ink is an excellent choice for professional textile screen printers producing fashion apparel, retail garments, branded merchandise, and other applications where vibrant color, excellent fabric feel, and a soft-hand finished print are priorities.
