EPIC Single LC White is an addition to Wilflex’s existing portfolio of white inks, which will soon be introduced in upgraded formulations, including: • EPIC Top Score LC White – aimed at 100% polyester sports apparel, ideal for short run jobs • EPIC Polywhite LC – provides greater bleed resistance for 100% polyester sports garments • EPIC Performance LC White – combines low bleed with ultra-stretch properties • EPIC Amazing Bright White – upgraded to improve bleed resistance and opacity on cotton poly blends

In addition to its disinfectant resistance, this material contains the necessary flammability and UV resistance needed for the application while also providing excellent moldability and surface finish.

This trend continues growing as people seek additional accessories to support personal interests, aesthetic preferences, and vehicle function while maintaining value and performance for their pick-up trucks and SUVs.
