Plastisol can scuff off. My suggestion is either water based or solvent based. Get a sample and test print the ink on it, then give it a rub next day, a scuff, cut it several times in two directions across each other cut, push plastic Sellotape down on it, and lift off as a cross-hatch adhesion test. Also take into consideration the stock and eater it is matte or coated gloss etc as the substrate stock and finish will ultimately determine the ink that will be easiest and cheapest to print with acceptable adhesion.
