Water-based screen ink ^[6]

This water-based screen ink range is suitable for cotton, nylon and other man-made fibre fabrics. Prints retain a soft hand after washing and offer good water resistance. Colour fastness to rubbing is grade 4 dry and grade 3 wet.

When approving print samples, check the hand after washing and the condition of the printed surface after rubbing. Prints may show slight localised whitening during hand washing or faint marks after rubbing. Check for both effects on a sample printed on the fabric specified for production.
