Water-Based vs. Plastisol Ink

Understanding Plastisol Ink
Now, what exactly is Plastisol ink? Well, it's a screen printing ink composed of two main ingredients: PVC resin and plasticizer.
When printed on a shirt, Plastisol ink sits on top of the fabric. While Plastisol is widely used due to its vibrant colors and ease of application, it does have some drawbacks.
Over time, it can fade, crack, or even peel, which can be quite disappointing when you're looking for long-lasting quality.
The Magic of Water-Based Ink
But fear not, my friend, because Water-Based Ink is here to save the day!
Unlike Plastisol ink, Water-Based Ink works in a completely different way. Rather than sitting on top of the fabric, it seeps into the garment and dyes it from within.
This unique characteristic allows the ink to become one with the shirt, resulting in a design that feels incredibly soft to the touch.
But that's not all – the magic of Water-Based Ink extends beyond its superior comfort!
You see, because Water-Based Ink permeates the fabric, it forms a bond that lasts longer compared to Plastisol ink.
This means your favorite designs won't crack or peel away, even after numerous washes. So, if you're looking for a printing technique that guarantees longevity and maintains the integrity of your design, Water-Based Ink is the way to go!

A Guide to Understanding Waterbased Print Results
Feb 28, 2024

When it comes to printing on our Super-Soft T-shirts, understanding ink discharges is key to achieving the perfect print. In this guide, we'll explore the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges and how they can impact your designs.
Vibrant Prints:
Vibrant Prints are characterized by bright and bold colors that truly pop on the shirt. All ink colors printed on shirt colors labeled "Vibrant" produce a vivid and eye-catching print. These prints are perfect for designs that require bold and dynamic colors to stand out.
Not as Vibrant Prints (Vintage):
Not as Vibrant Prints, also known as Vintage prints, offer a faded and muted look. Bright ink colors or any ink color lighter than the apparel colors labeled Vintage result in a less vibrant appearance. For example, yellow ink may appear green on certain shirt colors. Despite the muted tones, Vintage prints can add a unique and nostalgic touch to your designs.
Achieving the Vintage Look & Feel:
To achieve the Vintage Look & Feel, we offer two options. Firstly, printing your design using a single-color ink such as white can create a vintage or "my-favorite-tee" aesthetic. Alternatively, using a darker colored ink like navy or black on apparel colors that do not print bright and bold can also achieve this look. These options provide flexibility in achieving the desired appearance for your designs.
Understanding the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges is essential for achieving the desired print results on our super-soft T-shirts. Whether you opt for bold and dynamic colors or prefer a nostalgic vintage look, our printing options offer versatility to bring your designs to life!
