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!
