Triangle Ink 1705 Glacier White - 5 Gallon
High-opacity, low-bleed white plastisol ink formulated to help control dye migration on cotton/polyester blends and fleece while delivering a smooth, reliable underbase for screen printing.
Characteristics
Triangle Ink 1705 Glacier White is a professional-grade white plastisol screen printing ink specifically formulated to help prevent dye migration when printing on cotton/polyester blended garments. Its bleed-resistant properties make it particularly well suited for blended fabrics and fleece goods where garment dyes can migrate into conventional plastisol inks.
Glacier White features a creamy, production-friendly consistency with excellent opacity and fast-flashing characteristics. It prints effectively through a broad range of mesh counts and provides a smooth printed surface, making it an excellent choice as an underbase for overprinting additional colors.
The ink can be used for both production printing and detailed applications, with Triangle Ink specifying a 96–230 mesh range. This flexibility allows printers to select the appropriate ink deposit and image detail for different garment and artwork requirements.
Its combination of bleed resistance, smooth printability, quick flashing, and dependable on-press performance makes Triangle Ink 1705 Glacier White a versatile choice for screen printing on cotton/polyester blends, fleece, and other compatible garments.

- Mix Before Printing: Stir the ink thoroughly before production to ensure a smooth, consistent working viscosity.
- Mesh Selection: Select mesh count according to the desired ink deposit and artwork detail. Triangle Ink specifies a 96–230 mesh range for Glacier White.
- Underbase Printing: Glacier White works particularly well as an underbase because it creates a smooth surface for overprinting additional colors in multi-color designs.
- Flash Settings: Adjust flash time and temperature to gel the ink sufficiently for subsequent printing without unnecessarily overheating the garment.
- Dye Migration Testing: Always perform a test print on the actual garment before production. Dye migration can vary depending on fabric composition, garment dyes, and production conditions.
- Production Testing: Test using the actual garment, ink deposit, flash settings, and dryer conditions before beginning a full production run.
- Proper Curing: Follow the ink manufacturer's required cure conditions and verify that the entire ink film receives sufficient heat for proper adhesion and durability.
- Storage: Store at room temperature and keep away from excessive heat sources.
- Low-Bleed Performance: Glacier White is formulated to help control dye migration on cotton/polyester blended garments and fleece goods.
- Garment Testing: Bleed resistance can vary depending on garment dyes and fabric construction. Always test the actual garment before beginning production.
- Underbase Applications: Its creamy consistency and smooth printed surface make Glacier White suitable for multi-color overprinting.
- Cure Requirements: Cure conditions depend on garment construction, ink-film thickness, dryer efficiency, and production speed. Refer to the current Triangle Ink technical specifications.
- Complete Cure: Ensure the entire ink film reaches the manufacturer's required cure conditions. Dryer temperature settings alone do not confirm complete curing.
- Wash Testing: Perform wash and adhesion testing to confirm proper curing and finished print durability.
