New Water-based Inks for Printing on High Stretch Fabrics

MagnaColours (USA), a manufacturer of water-based screen-printing inks, is launching a new water-based transfer printing range.

 

The new MagnaTrans inks have been designed for use on the most demanding fabrics, offering a high stretch finish, soft handle and exceptional performance. MagnaTrans water-based inks are suitable for both traditionally screen-printed transfers, or for use with digital transfer printing systems.

 

Base inks are available in white, neutral and black. Pantone and fluorescent premixes will also be available soon. Eco-Pigments can be used with MagnaTrans base inks to mix color shades as required.

 

The MagnaTrans range also includes a transfer dye migration blocker, printable and sprinkle adhesives for 60°C washfastness, as well as a range of transfer films including hot and cold peel for matt and gloss finishes.

 

A collection of special effect MagnaTrans inks have also been developed. Metallic silver, two-tone effects, reflective, UV reactive and glow in the dark inks allow printers and designers to create unique and innovative designs for garments or printing locations where transfer application is required.
