These solutions help you maintain productivity and deliver professional, retail-quality results across diverse substrates and applications.
Smooth Printability for Automatic and Manual Presses
All Pantone-matched custom inks are tested to maintain a creamy consistency, running cleanly on both automatic and manual screen printing presses. This reduces downtime, keeps details sharp, and preserves the soft hand feel your customers expect. Whether you’re printing fine halftone gradients, solid color fields, or intricate graphics, our custom inks ensure coverage and consistency with every print run. Combined with our expert technical support, we help shops troubleshoot color matching, select proper mesh counts, and optimize cure times, ensuring you get the most from every custom ink order.
