As happens with every new feature in our industry, the coming of UV has triggered discussions and opinions for or against the various UV methods.

Bear in mind that what is an excellent solvent for an enamel or a poster ink may very well throw a vinyl based ink out of solution. It is necessary to know the resin family one is dealing with.

It is not uncommon for textile garment prints (when properly applied) to outlast the life of the garment itself.

The new discharge ink systems can produce soft, bright colors with printing production speeds up to a level that can meet and exceed those usually reserved for plastisol printing on dark fabric.
