Water-based ink coming with breathable & vibrant prints
A couple of years ago, we started noticing a shift in what our clients wanted. Most of our clients were searching for soft, breathable, vibrant prints. If you haven't started getting requests for water-based inks, I'm sure it's coming.
We run water-based dispersed ink on 95 percent of our jobs. The biggest thing we've come to figure out is that every job comes with its own headaches and challenges.
If you've been printing plastisol for a long time, there is a high chance that your current stencil is not water-based ink resistant. Water-based inks will destroy an improperly exposed screen, especially with emulsion that is not water resistant.
Water-based inks are becoming more and more popular among customers, so knowing how to best work with them is an important issue for all screen printers.
Next up, water-based ink is not plastisol ink. It's that simple. Water-based ink typically uses dyes or pigments in a suspension with water as the solvent. And just because it has water in the name doesn't mean it's eco-friendly and drain safe. There are still chemicals inside of your inks.
The water in these inks is meant to evaporate, leaving the dye behind. These inks need to be flowing, moisturized, massaged, or put back in the container and sealed tight. These inks will dry on the press if they are not handled correctly. This also means they will dry in your screen, clogging or blocking the open areas and making the screen unusable. On top of that, if not handled properly, your life will be horrible and end in nightmares of cakey, dry, and just plain unusable ink if your press is not running. Climates can also play a big role in how this ink is handled, confirming the tale that no two shops are alike.
