Top 10 Products to Add to Your Screen Print Shop

Our store is a one-stop shop for all of your screen printing needs. You can find everything from custom ink colors to inkjet media film or tape. Below are the top 10 products to add to your screen print shop!

#1: Matching Kit- Start Up Kit

We highly recommend adding the start-up kit to your collection because you can mix ANY custom color yourself. All custom colors have 90% base and 10% pigment. We send you an Excel file with formulas. The start-up kit comes with 15 pigment-based colors, 5 gallons of base, and a gallon of reducer. 

#2: Tape

Our split tape comes in three sizes: 2″ wide, 3″ wide, or 4″ wide. The tape peels off easily from the screen without damaging photo emulsion and does not leave residue on the screen.

#7: Specialty Inks–

Metallic-

Our gold or silver metallic ink has a shiny and bright print. We recommend using 86-158 mesh and curing at 260°F through the dryer.

Shimmer-

Our gold or silver shimmer ink has a sparkle effect. Shimmer ink has smaller particles than Metallic. We recommend using 86 mesh and curing at 260°F through the dryer.

Glow in the Dark-

Our glow in the dark ink will add value to your screen print shop! Phosphors, charged in ultra-violet light or sunlight, glows when the lights turn off. We recommend using up to 200 mesh, curing at 260°F through the dryer.

Fluorescent

Our fluorescent inks are beautiful and bright colors.

Puff Agent-

A puff agent adds texture and depth to the print. A puff base mixes with the Fusion 180° ink. The result is an ink that raises to create a 3D, elevated look. The puff base of puff ink can lighten the plastisol color you plan to use. We recommend using 110 mesh, curing at 260°F to 280°F through the dryer. 

#8: Reducer-

Low cure ink can bind up in the screen when the pallet is too hot, if you leave the ink in the screen overnight, or if the screen was recently flashed. In order to clear the screen, you need to spray the reducer into the affected area, flood the screen with ink, and push the ink through the screen with a squeegee onto the test print until the area is cleared. You might also have to add the reducer to the ink.

#9: Custom Color-

You might need a color not in your stock collection at your screen print shop. We recommend getting the start-up kit; however, if you need a color as soon as possible, we can mix a CUSTOM color at a gallon. Please send us the custom color number!

#10: Four-Color Process Colors-

Four-color process screen printing is a color separation system where the image is separated by four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These four colors form a photo-realistic print reproducing the original color image. Screen printers can achieve this with halftone dots to create the final look. The artwork is developed digitally with the software used for CMYK screen printing. Four color process is widely used in the screen printing industry because it is cost-effective. Surprise your customers with a beautiful photo-realistic print using the four-color process system with our inks!
