  • If you are wondering what inks to use when you get your shirt screen printed then watch this video.
    When you go to a print shop to get your shirts screen printed, then you need to know the two types of ink they used for screen printing. These are water based ink and plastisol ink. Two different inks with two different results and will give you a certain type of look.

      @ITAKClothing  Před 3 lety +1

      Not necessary. Usually when screen printers use water based ink, it'll depend what time of screen mesh they use and how many pass they do. They usually flash heat right away before curing as well.

    • @ITAKClothing
      @ITAKClothing  Před 3 lety +2

      2 washes is too quick to see cracks on the shirts. I've used alstyle 1301 before and I didn't see any cracks for awhile (not sure how many washes) but I never had complaints from my customers. I suggest shop around to different screen printers coz that might be the problem.

      Technically yes. But it won't last very long since dri fit material are usually polyester and spandex. So it's really not going to attach to the garment. Ask your screen printer if they can do this for you.

    • @ITAKClothing
      @ITAKClothing  Před 3 lety +1

      I dont think you'll get vibrant colors using water based ink. It will give you that faded vintage look. If you want to have the colors really pop out, use a plastisol ink. If you're worried about fading or cracking, check the brand of your ink, the brand of the shirt, what kind of fabric it is, and the heat on your press.

    • @ITAKClothing
      @ITAKClothing  Před 3 lety

      I dont think you can print another layer on top of an existing layer especially if it's already cured, using plastisol ink. Since plastisol just sits on top of the garment, there's a chance the colors will bleed and mix it. There's probably a better chance with water based ink, but I still wouldn't advise it since I never done it or heard about someone else doing it.

      Plastisol and water based are great. It really depends on what outcome you want. Nowadays, plastisol ink are screen printed on heat transfer papers as well, so if you want to use a heat press, you can. What im saying is in overtime, the plastisol ink will start to crack due to many washes since its settled on the surface of the shirt. Water based inks seeps in the shirt.
