Are you sure that's not silicone?

Have you tried anything in house yet?

Could be silicon, I don't have the actual print, just the photo, we can do HD Gel in Black for a a similar look and just cure it super hot, but wondering if anyone knows how to get a better look like this example with plastisol inks, on denier bags.

Do you know how stable the fabric is yet?

Fabric is stable.  It?s like heavy weight backpack nylon denier

Thinking doing a plastisol black base with nylabond and a hot flash to make it shiny, then a black super gel HD 400 micron print on top.

Print is black on black with small text on cut fabric pieces.

Can be plastisol or silicone, doesn?t need to be pvc free, and we need to print Tuesday :)  So not much time to tinker.

Anyone have any other ideas?  HD Wet Glossy look is the goal on thin lines and small text
