Screen printing inks are made up of a specially formulated mixture of pigments, binders, and other chemicals. Water-based screen printing inks are environmentally friendly options and are commonly used for textile printing, while solvent-based inks are preferred for durability on materials such as glass or plastic. These inks have intense colors and provide high color fastness, and they can come in glossy, matte, or metallic effects. Additionally, screen printing inks offer high opacity, allowing them to completely cover the color of the underlying surface.
