permaset water based printing inks

Permaset Aqua is a revolution in water-based fabric and screen printing inks. Made in Australia using advanced polymer technology combined with the purest pigments, Permaset Aqua results in an environmentally friendly and easy to use ink that provides long-term durability without compromising its superior soft handle.

Recent advances in polymer technology have enabled Permaset to manufacture a 100% solvent-free ink with greatly improved print qualities that were previously only attainable with solvent based products. No longer does the user have to suffer with the nasty smells and related health and safety issues that are associated with solvents to produce professional looking results. Permaset Aqua works on almost all fabrics, natural and synthetic, without the need for additives- once the print run is finished, any excess ink can simply be returned to its original container, since it has not been compromised by additives. Permaset Aqua is easily cleaned up with water.

All pigments selected for use in Permaset Aqua needed to meet several criteria, not least of all was that they register nothing less on than 6 on the Blue Wool Scale for lightfastness. To help ensure an almost imperceptible feel on the fabric, all pigments have a particle size of less than 1 micron, making them similar in feel to talcum powder. This in turn means that they need less resin to hold them fast to the fabric, adding to the softness and also allowing the brilliance of the pigment (the part you want to see!) to show through.
