Printing knowledge, technical guides, and industry perspectives
Selecting the correct ink system for fabric screen printing depends on the fabric construction, fibre content, and end-use requirements. This guide outlines the key considerations when choosing between standard, water-based, and specialty formulations.
The choice between water-based and solvent-based flexographic inks affects print quality, substrate compatibility, drying requirements, and environmental profile. Understanding these differences helps make better production decisions.
Ink viscosity directly influences print quality, colour density, and printability in screen printing. This article explains how to identify correct viscosity, how temperature affects it, and how reducers can be used to adjust ink working properties.
Achieving reliable ink adhesion on polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC requires understanding the surface energy of the substrate and selecting compatible ink systems and adhesion promoters.
Offset inks are composed of pigments, varnishes, and additives that together determine colour strength, tack, gloss, and drying behaviour. This overview covers the main components and their functional roles.
Correct storage and handling of printing inks, solvents, and related chemicals is important for product quality, workplace safety, and regulatory compliance. This guide covers the key principles.
