REHANCE Technology versus
Plastisol Ink The textile
industry has for many years been dominated by plastisol inks.
Below is a comparison of the two methods of dyeing viewed at a
magnification of 7X.

REHANCE
Plastisol
With
REHANCE technology the actual cotton fiber is changed at
the molecular level, allowing the fabric to remain
breathable after printing.
In order
to obtain colors with plastisol inks, the cotton surface
has to be sealed, which causes a non-breathable area.
Notice the red area, where the fibers have been sealed
to achieve the red on top of the blue fabric.
As plastisol
prints are washed, the plastisizers that let the ink stretch
start to leech out, which makes the film surface brittle and
begin to crack.
