I am thinking of switching from Plastisol Ink to a water based ink.
The shirts I print on are all tri-blend t-shirts. I've heard that these are more conducive to water based inks. Can anybody confirm or deny this?
If this is in fact the case, which water based inks are the best to use?
Anything I need to know about water based inks before making the switch
Thanks

Re: Water Based vs. Plastisol
Please take a moment to examine the categories for your posts. There are breakdowns that will fit almost anything. Many general questions will fall under the Printing the Shirts category.

I would say that a tri blend may feel better with a soft hand print so that is what they may be referring to. I'm working on bringing a textile water based ink to the Catspit lineup. Then we'll do some more water based screen printing videos too
