Suitable for manual and automatic print applications, Spot-On Hybrid offers a smooth and slow-drying water-based ink for printing onto both light and dark garments, said SPW. “The composition of our water-based Hybrid inks prevents clogging, and allow screens to stay open three to four times longer than traditional water-based inks — best results with opaque inks are obtained using 43T mesh counts. “The inks will flash off on the press very quickly, and offer a smooth, soft, matte finish on final curing.” The Spot-On Hybrid inks collection includes a super opaque white, metallic gold and silver, and a Spot-On Hybrid base for adding pigments, as well as a water- based anti-migration base. The new inks are both Global Organic Textile Standard and Oeko-Tex certified, and promise a soft handle, extra elasticity and a high washing resistance, along with rub-fastness. imagesmag.uk/Spot-On-Hybrid Spot-On Hybrid ink comes in metallic silver, plus metallic gold, super opaque white and more
