We recently have acquired a new job printing white ink and was curios to what white inks that are water based do the seasoned printers prefer.

The Union Bright Discharge White has worked well. It really pops. Looks great.

Wilflex nf super white.

 

[splathead]

The top 2 non-discharge waterbased inks are probably Matsui and Permaset.

 

[JakPrintsAPInks]

Matsui Brite Discharge White is real good. Using the Jessup ZFS they recommend is a good idea to.

 

[Genocide]

Hey bra! Where can i buy Matsui and Permaset here in philippines?

 

[Massimo]

The discharge products are harmfull and old fashion stuf in Europe. The best water based inks are GRAFCO NEWTEX or QUASAR MODATEX, 2 italian products used for fashion printing too, so high quality is guarantee. The 2 manufactuere have produces these inks in coopeation with fashion printers, so good stuf for promotion too.
In Italy you can find a number of fashion industries, this is way the product are so good. For more info how too print with water based inks (not dishage) give me a bell.

I suspect you're thinking of the old formaldehyde based discharge inks; they've improved a lot in the last few years.

 

[Massimo]

Yes the discharge inks have been "improved", but it is still a discharge process with fumes.
So the water based inks ready to use and cure are the safer solution.

try 1003 bright discharge white from union ink company

I posted this elsewhere, but I will say it again...QCM has a discharge white that is REALLY good. Better than the Matsui stuff I have seen, and its not close.

 

[Massimo]

Hi, I cannot believe how the Americans are still fan of discharge inks, old stuff and harmful to breath. Now all over Europe you can print with very opaque water based inks ready to use, self curing too, as they were plastisol, but definitely not plastic and not acid like the discharge stuff.

 

[CNClark]

Massimo, can you post links to where this amazing warerbased white is available to purchase for Americans? I'll buy some and try it. If it comes close to doing what discharge can do I will buy a few thousand gallons and start selling them here.

 

[CNClark]

I am very serious....if the ink produces a brilliant white with one pass of the squeegee and has a soft hand, I would love to try it out. If it does what you say, it's a no brainer to stock it and sell it. There are companies importing ink into the US...If it is totally safe, I wouldn't think it would be too hard to import.

To Clark - Re: White water based ink

Clark,

just send an email to the manufactuer asking to sort out some export in Usa.

I hope you can have an answer soon. Of course you would need to try the product first.
I will let you know ASAP.
Please let me know how I can conatct you privately if everything go well.
many thanks

Massimo

 

[CNClark]

Which ink are you referring to, NewTex One?

 

[Massimo]

Hi Clark,
NewtexOne is self curing, ready to use etc.
easy product.
A bit more is the white 522 or white 500 but they need to be cured in a long curing unit with forced hot air for the best results.
cheers
