Four Color Process Water-Based Ink – CMYK Set – Soft Hand
Description
Description
The complete CMYK set in water-base — cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Same four-screen process printing, the softest hand we make.
Water-base sinks into the fibre instead of sitting on it. On a finished shirt you can barely feel a process print.
What process ink is for
Process is transparent by design — the colors mix optically as overlapping halftone dots. Four screens, full-color image.
- Photorealistic prints — images, portraits, gradients
- Softest possible hand — the print becomes part of the fabric
- Fewer screens — four instead of twelve spot separations
Substrate & underbase
Transparent ink needs a ground. Print direct on white. On anything else you need a white underbase or the garment shows through.
Water-base vs plastisol process
| Water-base | Plastisol (PFPC) | |
|---|---|---|
| Hand | Softest — sinks into the fibre | Soft, but sits on top |
| Best on | Cotton, retail and fashion work | Cotton and blends, production runs |
| Screen behaviour | Dries in the mesh — keep it moving | Will not dry in the screen |
Handling
- Wear gloves and eye protection when handling inks.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not let it dry in the screen — water-base cures in the mesh if you stop.
- Review the Safety Data Sheet before use.
