Screen Printing Ink Colors | All Purpose Ink for Cotton, Poly & Blends
Looking for screen printing ink colors that work across garments, substrates, and press setups? Buckets of Ink offers a full lineup of all purpose plastisol inks that deliver rich opacity, easy curing, and compatibility with cotton, polyester, tri-blends, and more. Our screen printing ink is tested in live production environments and trusted by decorators nationwide.
Whether you need vibrant primaries, bold spot colors, custom Pantone matches, or specialty tones like fluorescents or pastels, our all purpose ink options perform across manual and automatic presses. We stock only top-tier brands like Avient Wilflex and WM Plastics, giving you ink that lays flat, flashes quickly, and resists bleeding—even on synthetics.
Why All Purpose Plastisol Ink Outperforms Standard Formulas
Unlike traditional plastisol ink limited to cotton, all purpose ink formulations are engineered to bond with a wide variety of fabrics. This includes cotton-rich blends, 50/50 shirts, and even treated polyester. These inks offer excellent bleed resistance, maintaining color integrity without the need for constant underbase adjustments or specialty blockers.
Whether you’re printing for fashion, sportswear, or promo goods, having a reliable screen printing ink color system that performs on mixed substrates reduces downtime, waste, and reprints. Our all purpose inks are ideal for shops that print across different fabric types daily—and they’re available in quarts, gallons, and custom color batches.
Full Spectrum of Screen Printing Ink Colors In Stock
Buckets of Ink offers an expanded color system including Wilflex’s RIO Pantone Mixing System, Avient’s Epic Series, and WM Plastics' stock and custom plastisols. Our color inventory covers:
- Vivid reds, royal blues, and canary yellows for high-impact graphics
- Warm neutrals, charcoals, and tans for vintage and retail styles
- Cool greys, icy tones, and modern blue hues for lifestyle branding
- Specialty inks like fluorescents, metallics, and glow in the dark
- High opacity white plastisol ink and premium black plastisol ink formulations to complement the full color spectrum
You can count on fast flash times, reduced screen clogging, and easy cleanup, even when switching between mesh counts and fabric types.
All Purpose Ink with Expert Matching & Mixing Support
Choosing the right all purpose screen printing ink isn’t just about color—it's about how the ink interacts with your fabric, flash units, and dryer. That’s why Buckets of Ink offers hands-on support to help you match Pantone shades, select underbase combinations, and cure your inks correctly for both durability and feel.
Our team helps print shops—from small-batch designers to contract print houses—standardize their ink usage and prevent production issues like ghosting, fibrillation, and dye migration.
