Ink Options

Our staff has experience with a wide variety of ink.

Plastisol Ink:

  • Plastisol is the most common ink used in commercial garments.

  • This ink has good color opacity on dark garments.

  • Plastisol ink doesn’t absorb into the fabric as well as water-based ink and prints will have a heavier “hand” than something embellished with a water-based or water-based discharge process.

 

Water-based Ink:

  • Water-based ink is the most common ink used at Wet House and most preferred by our customers.

  • Water-based ink penetrates the fabric more than plastisol inks and create a much softer feel.

  • Our staff will custom make any color our clients desire.

 

Discharge Ink:

  • Discharge screen printing is a rare specialty ink that Wet House offers.

  • Discharge is a screen printing method that essentially bleaches the color from a shirt.

  • This results in a print that is soft and flush with the surface of the shirt.

  • Unlike Plastisol ink printed on the surface of your garment discharge is a process by which we’re eliminating the dye from the shirt in the print area thus making it part of the shirt. This is perfect for many applications, but often a soft print is desired and that is where water based  and discharge are perfect.

  • Rather then stacking ink up on top of the shirt discharge ink changes the actual color of the fabric.
