Print processes and the environment

Custom Screen Printing Using Plastisol or Water-Based Inks Using plastisol we achieve print production and then oven cure quickly, whilst matching exactly any pantone colour. Apart from the print colours being more vibrant, final product has a better wash resistance compared to water base inks, thus increasing image longevity. For clean up following plastisol printing, we use a mild spirit solvent.

Water-Based inks are as safe as plastisol, the big advantage being water-based is PVC free and the manufacturing production time is less than plastisol, therefore fewer resources are consumed producing the ink. On the other hand water-base takes longer to print and then oven cure, thus increasing resources used by us and the final price.For clean up following water base printing, we use a mild detergent and water. Both inks are low-level hazardous waste with low levels of Volatile Organic Chemicals.
