Plastisol Ink
Plastisol is likely the most commonly used ink for decorating textiles. Plastisol is a liquid plastic, which can be mixed to any PMS color, and has a great shelf life. This ink can be used for most separation techniques, and offers great opacity and longevity. The hand, or feel, of this ink can be felt on the surface of the material in almost every application, but can be minimized through the use of mesh count etc.
Discharge / Water-based Ink
Water-base or Discharge inks can be used on 100% cotton items only and offers an exceptional hand, or feel, to the final print. Water-base can be used on light colored garments, but when moving to darker garments, discharge agent is applied. This eliminates the dye in the substrate below the image, which allows the pigment to set directly on the substrate.
