Holden's discharge ink for fabric offers a high-performance, water-based solution for screen printing on fabric. These eco-friendly inks use water as the primary solvent, making them both effective and environmentally conscious. Specifically designed for vibrant printing on dark fabrics, our discharge inks work through a chemical reaction with existing fabric dyes. This reaction effectively removes the fabric’s dye, replacing it with our water-based pigments to produce rich, eye-catching colors.
DISCHARGE INKS INVOLVES A TWO-PART SYSTEM:
The printing process with Holden’s Discharge Inks involves a two-part system. It consists of the discharge base and an activator, which must be mixed in a 10% ratio—9 parts ink to 1-part activator. This precise ratio ensures optimal color release and adherence to the fabric. Once mixed, the ink must be heat set at 300°F for 3 to 5 minutes to achieve the best results. This heat set screen printing ink process ensures that your prints are vibrant, durable, and resistant to washing and wear.
CONSISTENT QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE:
After mixing, the ink mixture remains usable for approximately 8 hours. It is crucial to apply and cure the ink within this timeframe to ensure consistent quality and performance. Prompt curing after printing is essential for achieving the maximum discharge effect and ensuring long-lasting, high-quality prints. Holden’s discharge ink for textiles is the perfect choice for professional screen printers looking to create dynamic, colorful designs on dark fabrics, combining ease of use with exceptional results.
