Holden's Eco-Friendly Water-Based Discharge Screen Printing Inks | Vibrant Colors for Dark Fabrics | Two-Part System with Activator | Ideal for Textile Printing Ink | Heat Set (300°F)

Holden's discharge ink for fabric offers a high-performance, water-based solution for screen printing on fabric. These eco-friendly inks use water as the primary solvent, making them both effective and environmentally conscious. Specifically designed for vibrant printing on dark fabrics, our discharge inks work through a chemical reaction with existing fabric dyes. This reaction effectively removes the fabric’s dye, replacing it with our water-based pigments to produce rich, eye-catching colors.DISCHARGE INKS INVOLVES A TWO-PART SYSTEM:The printing process with Holden’s Discharge Inks involves a two-part system. It consists of the discharge base and an activator, which must be mixed in a 10% ratio—9 parts ink to 1-part activator. This precise ratio ensures optimal color release and adherence to the fabric. Once mixed, the ink must be heat set at 300°F for 3 to 5 minutes to achieve the best results. This heat set screen printing ink process ensures that your prints are vibrant, durable,
