WATER BASED INK HOW IT WORKS

The 3 steps to follow when using

Đặc điểm

With focus on turning ideas into actions

High Density Ink

Water-based high density ink is designed to create raised, dimensional prints with a strong 3D texture and sharp edges. It provides excellent durability and maintains its structure after curing, making it ideal for logos and premium footwear or garment applications.

Water Based Color Ink

Eco-friendly water-based color ink delivers vibrant colors, excellent adhesion, and flexible performance on EVA and textile materials. It provides durable prints with good wash resistance while maintaining a soft and natural feel.

T-Shirt Ink

Water-based T-shirt ink penetrates fabric to create soft, breathable, and long-lasting prints. It offers excellent wash resistance and maintains fabric comfort, making it ideal for garment and apparel printing.

HOW IT WORKS

Key considerations for screen

printing Water Based Ink:

Screen Selection and Plate Making

1. Mesh count: Recommended 80-120 mesh. Excessively high mesh counts may prevent silicone from passing through, while excessively low counts may cause uneven flow.
2. Photoresist thickness: Requires 0.1-0.5mm to enhance three-dimensional effects. Adjust based on sample thickness.

Ink Types and Curing

1.Two-component silicone: Requires mixing of A/B components, baking at 120-160°C, offers strong adhesion but requires high-temperature resistant materials.
2.One-component silicone: Air-dries naturally (6-10 minutes), suitable for fabrics or plastics that cannot withstand high temperatures.

Printing Process Control

1. Ink Layer Thickness: Conductive ink must be >30μm, with resistance <200Ω (4mm spacing)
2. Squeegee Hardness: Approx. 55° Shore A, speed 12-24 cm/s, to prevent deformation of curved key bodies
3. Design Specifications: Character spacing should not be too close; background area should be 0.1-0.2mm smaller than surface color to prevent adhesion

Environment and Safety

1. VOC Restrictions: Must comply with standards such as EU Directive 2004/42/EC to control volatile organic compound emissions.
2. Food Contact Safety: For food packaging applications, must meet migration limits and heavy metal thresholds specified in GB 4806.14-2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Color Variation: A 0.1μm variation in ink layer thickness can cause noticeable color differences, requiring strict control of ink-water balance.
2. Screen Clogging: Excessively rapid solvent evaporation may clog mesh openings; add defoaming agents (e.g., SSYK defoamer at 0.5-1.0%).

EVA SPRAY INK

Eco-friendly water-based spray ink for EVA outsoles and uppers. Delivers strong adhesion, flexibility, and durability — ideal for both custom designs and mass production of sports and casual footwear.

  • Abrasion-resistant
  • Does not crack

T-SHIRT PRINTING INK

T-shirt printing ink is an eco-friendly water-based printing material specially designed for screen printing on fabric surfaces. It is suitable for a wide range of textiles including cotton, polyester-cotton blends, TC, canvas, and mesh fabrics. With excellent coverage, elasticity, and adhesion, it is widely used for printing on T-shirts, hoodies, sportswear,etc.

  • Soft hand-feel: Remains flexible after printing for a comfortable wearing experience.
  • Excellent coverage: Effectively covers dark fabrics with vibrant prints.
  • Strong adhesion and elasticity: Durable, stretch-resistant, and won’t crack or peel after washing.
  • Eco-friendly and low odor: Free from harmful solvents and compliant with international environmental standards.
