Waterbased inks are very famous these days. Either, we have to print on textile, shoes, silicone base or we have the use it in scratch off printing they serve as a great alternative to other plastisol inks. Still, after getting so many benefits of these Inks, It is shame to know that these water-based inks of today have far fewer myths in people's minds.
Let’s come directly to those myths that people have:
They are complicated and unpredictable
No, never! Textile Printing Ink is
very soft in hand that allows its user to use them without any worry or stress.
The best part of these Water-based inks is that they give you an outstanding
result without any spill of colors and doesn’t require any special maintenance.
You don’t have control over water-based colors
This will give you the ability to control your
colors and ink mixtures. You can mix the full range of colors and even allow
you to use each pigment as an additive to use in special effects bases, such as
metallic, Silicone Transfer Printing Ink, reflective,
and discharge inks.
Not good for the environment
Our government is also putting strict efforts
into making an Eco-friendly world. Therefore, following the same water-based
inks allow printers to do their part. They are completely free of PVC resin,
harmful ozone-depleting chemicals, plasticizers, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Moreover, they are completely recyclable.
You Need to Spend Enough of Your Investments
Although, these are water-soluble colors that just
need one-time investment with long-run results. The best part is that they can
be recycled again and can’t create any wastage. So, they are not costlier and
can print your lot of projects.
It is difficult to print because it dries on the screen during longer print runs
Water-based inks have a lower viscosity than
plastisol inks so that they soak effectively into your fabric of choice and
also dry out while in the screens due to evaporation.
