Plastisol, right? Depending on how hard you pull, yes, usually. When it's cured and fused together, it should act like a thin film of plastic that has a little give.

Pull hard enough and it will surly crack/split.  Wish I could give something to reference by. 

Wash test will give a definite answer.

Thinner deposits will always crack (my opinion) if stretched enough.

I do it when I'm out at the mall, it's surprising how many times I've come across under cured prints.

Let me add that I forgot to say what customer will be pulling on a print, unless they have an inside track LOL
