Water-Based Ink
Print method — one of 27 in the glossary
Screen printing ink that soaks into the fibre and dyes it rather than sitting on the surface, giving a soft print you can barely feel. Favoured for fashion and retail garments where hand matters. Harder to work with than plastisol: it dries in the screen, needs more care in curing, and struggles to cover dark fabric without a discharge or an underbase.
