SCREEN PRINTING

SUBSTRATE SHOP

We have been screen printing since 2009. It is the bait that lured us into this industry, and today we are still as obsessed with the details of the job as we were years ago! We specialize in high quality apparel printing with different inks like water based, discharge and plastisol to make amazing swag for businesses and brands!

TYPES OF INK MEDIUM

Plastisol Ink is the most widely used ink in apparel screen printing. It is made up PVC particles suspended in a liquid plasticizer. It is very durable, flexible, and easy to use in the screen printing process.

Water Based Inks are defined as inks that use water as the main solvent for carrying pigment. They are made up mostly of acrylic resins or hybrid blends of acrylic resin and polyurethanes.

Discharge Ink is a water-based ink formula that allows printing on dark fabric without the need of additional ink layers.  This printing process actually deactivates the color of the fabric itself by removing the dye and replaces it with the chosen print colors.

Specialty Ink is the most widely used screen printing ink in the industry.
