THE
PrintGRIP is a 1mm polymer gel pad that is the clean, reusable, more effective alternative to traditional pallet adhesives.
CLEANER
ADHESIVE
With over 20 years of experience in the Screen Printing industry and countless hours of regluing, dealing with aerosol fumes and wasted hours replacing transfer paper on shirt boards, I knew there had to be a better way.
Having a safer, cleaner and reusable alternative to traditional adhesives was my goal in creating printGRIP.
PrintGRIP gives you all the benefits of traditional adhesives with out any of the faults.
I initially just wanted to make my job as a screen printer easier and cleaner. Then when I introduced it to other shops I was amazed on the reaction.
I am happy to now share this new alternative to traditional adhesives to the all of my fellow screen printers out there and hope it does what I had always intended. Make our jobs easier and cleaner.
Thank you,
Chad Kerkenbush

-
How long does it last?PrintGRIP is recommended to be replaced between 3 to 6 months of use. The material will always be tacky, BUT over time it will get more difficult to clear the lint off.
-
What type of material does it work on?PrintGRIP adheres to most fabrics. Best on Cotton, Polyester, Cotton Blends, Poly Blends, and Tri Blends consisting of Poly/Cotton/Rayon. PrintGRIP does not adhere well to certain blends of Nylon/Elastin or Nylon/Spandex or combinations of those. If printing on this type of material it is best to run a test print first.
-
Can I heat flash printGRIPYes, printGRIP can be flashed. PrintGRIP has been tested to 970 degrees for 20 seconds with no signs of scorching.
-
What happens if I print in it?PrintGRIP can be cleaned off by using an on press cleaner.
-
Should I be worried about Ghost images or ink transferring through the shirt?No, you may see Ghost or transfered images. They can be cleaned with an on press cleaner but as long as it is not affecting the stickyness you do not have to clean them off.
