Texsource's Ryan Bolin shows you how to use a combination of plasticharge colors, adhesive and reflective foil to give your screen prints an entirely different look.
To mix plasticharge as seen in the video, combine Aquarius Plasticharge Additive and standard plastisol ink in a 1:1 ratio - then add Aquarius Activator ZF at a 6 percent ratio. Mix thoroughly and print like a standard discharge ink.

Avient's Aquarius line of Plasticharge products helps screen printers get that signature discharge printing look and feel with the plastisol inks they already have on hand.
Choose your plastisol color and mix with Aquarius Plasticharge Additive at a 1:1 ratio. Next, add the Aquarius ZF Activator agent at 6% of the weight of the plasticharge additive. Be sure to add the ZF agent just prior to printing and mix until the powder is completely dissolved in the mixture.
The resulting ink mixture will have a consistency similar to water based inks and can be discharged when printing on cotton garments. Discharge and plasticharge inks soak into cotton fibers, release the dyes from the underlying substrate when run through a dryer and replace them with the discharge color pigments.
Plasticharge prints produce durable, bright, opaque prints with an incredibly soft hand feel. Conventional plastisol inks can also be layered on top of plasticharge, making it useful as an underbase.
