Water Based Printing Inks

Water Based Printing Inks

You can start printing softer prints today if you switch to printing with water based printing inks.  People get custom screen printing every day and a lot of the time they are using plastisol inks to do so.  Plastisol inks are nice because the excess ink can easily be reclaimed to be used again which helps keep the cost low.  They won’t dry up since they don’t contain a solvent, but there is a drawback to this property since they need to be cured to set permanently.  When you cure a plastisol ink it stiffens up and when you’re dealing with a lot of ink coverage it can make a garment feel heavy and bulky. Water based printing inks don’t have that problem so you can get super soft hand on your own custom prints.

Water Based Printing Inks

Water based printing inks are formulated with a solvent, usually water, which means you can’t reuse them like plastisol inks, but the tradeoff is in the quality of the print.  Water based printing inks are thinner and penetrate more into the garment while leaving behind a soft hand. The water based inks take on the feel of the garment you’re printing on so it’s perfect for professional fashion applications where quality is key.  You’ll be able to offer fantastic prints that feel top of the line which is sure to please your customers!

Custom Screen Printing Prices

Not only is there pricing on our website for traditional screen printing and jumbo screen printing but the pricing for sublimation and embroidery is on there as well. If the pricing is a little confusing ill break it down for you. For custom screen printing all you need to start off is a minimum of 12 pieces. So say your artwork calls for 2 colors and you wanted to get it printed on a white t-shirt. For a 2 color on a white shirt it would be $3.00 a shirt plus the cost of the t-shirt. There is also a screen set up charge of $25.00 and since you are getting 2 colors it would be 2 set up charges. We also have an artwork charge of $50.00 unless you can supply your artwork in a vector file. 

The more shirts you order the cheaper the screen printing will cost. So say you were getting 50 shirts the price for screen printing per shirt would be $1.85 plus the cost of the shirt. Now if you wanted your screen printing done on a dark shirt, like a black or navy the price would go up one because of the under base. If you’re still having trouble understanding the price sheet, feel free to call (908) 806-8337 or email us and someone will be available to help you with any questions you have.
