Water-Based Textile Ink (WBTX Series) sinks into the fabric instead of sitting on top of it — so a finished print feels like part of the shirt, not a patch on it. Phthalate-free, breathable and vibrant, it's the ink for retail and fashion work where hand-feel sells the garment. 62 colors plus a mixing base. Pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallon. Made in Hackensack, New Jersey. Water-based vs plastisol — which do you want? Water-Based Plastisol Hand Softest — dyes into the fiber Sits on top of the fabric Best on 100% cotton, retail/fashion Cotton & blends, production runs On press Dries in the screen if you stop — keep it moving Won't dry in the screen Best for 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends Retail, boutique and fashion apparel where soft hand matters Wet-on-wet multi-color work How to run it Type Water-based textile · phthalate free Substrate 100% cotton · cotton/poly blends Mesh 110–230 depending on detail Flash 250°F (121°C) for 3–5 seconds Cure 320–350°F (160–177°C) — all moisture must evaporate before the ink is fully cured On press Keep it moving — water-based dries in the mesh if the press stops. Use a retarder for long runs. Cleanup Water and mild soap Storage 65–90°F, sealed, out of direct sun. Do not freeze. Sizes Pint · Quart · Gallon · 5 Gallon The cure is different from plastisol — the water has to fully evaporate before the ink cures, or the print washes out. Confirm your dryer is driving off all moisture and reaching temperature. Test wash before a production run. Need a color we do not stock? We are a Pantone® certified company.
