Water Based Ink T Shirt Printing

Have you heard of water based ink T shirt printing?  If you haven’t, I’m sure it probably sounds like some kind of science fiction technology.  In reality, water based ink T shirt printing is a quite common practice in the customized garment industry.  You see, much of the screen printing we see around us is done with plastisol inks.  Plastisol inks are tried and true, but they aren’t the only game in town.

Plastisol inks are more affordable because any unused ink can be easily reclaimed time and time again.  Additionally plastisol inks don’t contain a solvent so they won’t dry up when left exposed to the air.  So they’re easy to work with and can keep costs minimal, but what about the end result?  Plastisol inks require a curing step where heat activates the ink and sets it, but this leaves a bit of a ‘hand’ to the print.  For some, the hand isn’t a factor, but that isn’t always the case and that’s where water based ink T shirt printing comes into play.

Water based inks contain a solvent which allows them to be less viscous, but they are susceptible to drying out, so they need to be used more carefully.  Since they can’t be reclaimed, water based inks tend to be more expensive, but the tradeoff is in the resulting print.  Prints done in water based ink are much softer and after a wash or two, it will feel like the print is part of the shirt.  Water based inks are also great for all over T shirt printing because they are lightweight and can easily go over seams.  If you are in need of a company who can provide you with water based ink T shirt printing you can come to us at AMBRO Manufacturing!  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and services, by email or by giving us a call at (908) 806-8337.
