You want to add foil to a print, but only part of it. And you want the convenience of doing the whole print in plastisol. You’ve seen great plastisol prints that incorporate foil in part without having to use water based ink for the non-foiled parts. You want to do them too. But how?
You can do it the slow frustrating way by carefully cutting the foil to a size just big enough to cover the area you want to foil and then positioning it very carefully on the heat press. But you are not a hobbyist with unlimited time. You are in production and at the end of the day you have to show a profit. The trouble is that this slow process might result in nice prints but it is not production friendly at all.
Well there is a quicker and easier way to do it. A small amount of an additive known as Wilflex Foil Resist added to the plastisol inks that you do not want the foil to stick to, will speed the production process up a whole lot (and give your artist much more lattitude). The foil only sticks where you want it to and you end up with prints to impress your customers with much less production hassle.
