Do you have a favorite t-shirt? You know, the soft cotton one with the soft handed, distressed print on the front? Everyone has one, and there’s a pretty good chance it was printed using water based ink. Customers love the soft feel and clean, smooth look of water based prints.

In order to figure out what ink will best suit your project, it’s important to understand the properties and applications of different screen printing inks.
