We only use water-based inks to print our tees. Free from the PVC or phthalates toxic ingredients found in Plastisol inks, water-based inks aren't only kinder to the environment, they give our designs a softer, more natural feel. Because, unlike Plastisol inks, water-based inks actually blend into the fabric as opposed to sitting on the top.
Formulated free from lead and other heavy metals, the inks we use have passed the Oeko-Tex Class 1 standard with 60% to spare. That means they don’t contain ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFC's and HCFC's, aromatic hydrocarbons or any volatile solvents. Basically, all the bad stuff. What's more, when it comes to cleaning our screens, we don't need to use solvents - just good old fashioned plain water.
So why doesn't everyone print with water-based inks? Well, quite simply, it can be a massive pain in the derrière.
You see, unlike Plastisol inks, which can be left on a screen for hours and hours without drying out, water-based inks have to be worked with quickly as they have a tendency to dry out before you can say “Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh no he isn't! It's a lap record” (good old Murray) and clog the screen you're printing your design through.
