Title: Waterbase inks-which one ?
Post by: Rockers on January 22, 2020, 09:44:50 PM

If you were to sell me a waterbase ink system which one  would it be? I have my eyes on Magna or Virus? But then there is the new PolyOne Zodiac Aquarius system too. We are not trying to switch completely from Plastisol to H2O but rather need something for the 20% of customers who want a waterbase ink. We need a good white that has a greta coverage and does not dry so quickly in the screen and a good base and mixing system too. Ideally something that works as well on dark garments.

Don’t forget about Matsui; they make many of their products right there in Japan, so I would think they are easy to get?

Unfortunately the Matsui products made for the Japanese market are nothing like products made for the US market. The US line of Matsui products is a lot better.
