'#BTS of a #dye house here in #DTLA\'s #LAFashionDistrict. This #ink is for #screenprinting on shirts. Ink used for screen printing is more viscous than standard ink and has a variety of other properties to meet the different demands and expectations of the silk screening process. The most commonly used inks for silk screening are oil-based Plastisol ink, water-based suede, discharge, and expanding ink. Mixing inks can be one of the most stressful parts of screen printing. It involves trying to get the right ink color, texture and final effect. You can reduce the stress of ink mixing, and set yourself up for a successful screen printing run, by making some changes to your ink mixing process and ink mixing station. Natural #fabrics are the ultimate choice for screen printing, as they tend to absorb the ink more readily than man-made fabrics do. #Cotton and cotton blends are the most popular choice for most printers and customers as they are soft and permeable, and #organiccotton can be even softer again. Traditionally the process was called screen printing or #silkscreenprinting because silk was used in the process. It is also known as serigraphy, and serigraph #printing. Currently, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen printing process. The most popular mesh in general use is made of polyester. - The fashion manufacturing industry is filled with unanswered questions.
