        abstract = {The garment printing industry is witnessing a paradigm shift towards sustainability, driven by increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly products. In this context, the commercial viability of soy-based plastisol ink as an alternative to traditional plastisol ink is a subject of considerable interest. This abstract presents a comprehensive analysis of the commercial feasibility of adopting soy-based plastisol ink for garment printing.
The analysis encompasses various factors influencing commercial viability, including cost, performance, environmental considerations, market demand, regulatory landscape, and marketing implications. While soy-based plastisol ink may entail higher upfront costs due to the use of soybean oil, its eco-friendly profile and potential marketing advantages can offset these costs. Moreover, advancements in ink formulation have narrowed the performance gap between soy-based plastisol and traditional plastisol inks, ensuring comparable durability, color vibrancy, and printability.
It underscores the potential of soy-based plastisol ink as a commercially viable alternative to traditional plastisol ink for garment printing. By considering the holistic implications and leveraging the growing demand for sustainable solutions, businesses can capitalize on the opportunities presented by soy-based plastisol ink while contributing to environmental stewardship.
