Monkey switches to Water-Based and PVC free Screen Printing Inks


Monkey in a Dryer Screen Printing has made the jump to switching from Plastisol screen printing inks to using Water-Based inks and PVC free and phosphate free inks. We have been using plastisol inks for the last 5 years and have always been disappointed with the thickness of the inks. Recently, we tried have tried many new and different lines of water-based inks, PVC free inks etc. We have found some excellent coverage from International Coatings new ink line GenIV.
GenIV is thenext generation of PVC-free, Phthalate-free, eco-friendly inks for the textile screen printing industry. It's an innovative high-solids ink that produces a very soft hand with excellent opacity, and offers many of the same advantages of traditional plastisol inks. One thing that set's this ink apart from other water-based inks is that it does not dry on the screen and requires no harsh solvents or chemicals for clean-up. Simply use water.



Here are some images of print done by GenIV. Also check out the Youtube video on how well the white covers a black t shirt. We have also tried this and it does look fabulous!
