About the Ink
 
  Water Based Screen printing

The majority of screen printing companies use plastisol ink because they are simple to use, inexpensive and durable.
 
Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to the common t-shirt wearer, plastisol inks contain PVC and phthalates that destroy the environment and have been associated with many medical issues including cancer, mental disorders, and infertility. Additionally, the cleaning process for plastisol inks call for environmentally harmful, petroleum based chemicals.
 
 ( all RokGear ink is 100% water base friendly! )
 
Water based ink screenprinting contains neither PVC nor phthalates making them an environmentally friendly choice. Water based ink ingredients are non-toxic, lead-free and do not contain any heavy metals. As such, they are safe for use on infant clothing, underwear and swimsuits.
 
Unlike plastisols, water based inks contain no ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFC's and HCFC's, aromatic hydrocarbons or any volatile solvents. Best of all, instead of dangerous solvents, water based inks clean up easily and safely with water, once heat set on fabric the ink is permanent for the life of the fabric, remains flexible less likely to crack, dry out or peel than plastisol ink(s).
