In a plastisol type ink, the liquid plasticizers attract the dyes from the garment as they release from the fabric; the dyes essentially re-pigment the ink. This is best measured with a thermo-probe. Place the cross-hairs donut from the thermo-probe directly into freshly printed wet ink.

For best results manufacturers should understand the material’s processing benefits and limitations before designing a mold.  Processing Styrenic Block Copolymer TPEs from GLS GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest). 

However, even when there is a clear trend, it is possible to find aesthetics that stand out from the rest because of the complex nature of human beings. This can be best achieved by attending a live presentation by one of Avient’s CMF experts, who will guide brand owners and designers through the different societal trends and color concepts. The ColorWorks team can adapt any color concepts or ideas that arise from ColorForward to CMF requirements, or even create entirely new ones inspired by the ColorForward presentation.
