Migration is ok but washing fastness very poor than plastisol.

Mr Noortrd:  Absolutely not true.  You can not make a blanket statement like that.  Now on some fabrics, maybe so.  But on standard performance wear-type of fabrics, this is false. 

Not sure if you have looked at the ImageStar silicone or some other brand - I think you are outside of the US?  Not all silicone inks are created equal.  Most are industrial type (coating/molding) products that have pigeon-holed into a screen operation.  Not this. 

There are many things that affect adhesion and wash fastness..........

Just did a job yesterday on 100% poly red compression shirts with this ink.

Works awesome

We used white and black both on standard 160 mesh,
print white, flash, print white, flash, print black.

white is super bright and stretches with the shirt.
