If you pull the print apart is it always under cured if the ink cracks?

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.

Printers who are unsure of the ink being fully cured!

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
