SCREEN PRINTING WITH WATER BASED INK

This is the print technique most often used at Fairware. We’re fans of water based inks not only because they’re better for the environment, but also because they’re more breathable and they’re longer lasting than a traditional plastisol print. Water based inks are soaked into the fabric, creating a softer print that won’t be as likely to crack over time. They generally have an added cost and are best used on 100% cotton fabrics. Because of how water based inks work, they’re best used on light colored garments.
