Low-cure ink.

Plastisol formulated to reach full cure at a lower temperature than standard plastisol, so the garment does not have to be taken up to the heat that starts polyester dye moving. Low cure and low bleed are different tools that get used as synonyms: a low-bleed ink cures at normal temperature and holds the dye back chemically, while a low-cure ink works by keeping the blank cooler. Lower temperature does not mean less time, because cure is time and temperature together; the belt often has to run slower, and the full thickness of the film has to reach the figure on the datasheet, not just its surface. Swapping to low-cure ink and leaving the dryer where it was gives undercured prints that pass the packing table and fail in the customer's first wash.
