Achieving different effects and finishes

Types of printing


PLASTISOLS INK

A common ink in screen printing is Plastisol. Plastisol creates a film that sits on top of the fabric, this allows versatility in application and durability when it comes to retaining vividness and colour.

 

WATERBASED INK

Waterbased inks are an eco-friendly choice. The finish can result in a washed out, vintage and softer hand-feel creating better breathability in wearable garments. Waterbased inks penetrate into the textile fibres instead of forming a film on top like Plastisol.

 

METALLIC & SPECIALTY INK

Metallic and specialty inks can create a stand out finish on your design and can be used as a highlight feature. There is constantly new developments in the specialty ink ranges such as puff, chrome, pearl, glitter, hypercolour, UV, crackle and more.
