Waterbased crystalina or similar. Any suggestions?

[blue moon]

we have a job that calls for white print with some glitter flake in it, but needs to be done with waterbased ink.

What's a good ink to get?

others will most likely have a better answer, but i believe matsui and virus have inks like this.

I have never seen a waterbase crystalina..the mesh required for the flakes would be a mess.. you may have to run a DC white and the greenest crystalina you can find then educate the client on whats available.

Matsui make some bomb metallic water base

cool..I thought he said crystalina..those are glitter flakes.. but good to know on the metallics..

is there a clear waterbased gel I can print over the large flakes? We could mix the glitter into the clear and then overprint to seal it. Would that work?

Matsui has a glitter base with RB code.  Works great for large flakes (even up to .008 through a 38 mesh]...

The base evaporates off in the dryer leaving an awesome hand.

You need to get polyester crystals, as the metallic will tarnish.

Also... If you're doing these on 50/50s, you'll want a bleed blocking base to make sure you don't get dye migration into the base/binder
