Stretched FramesInksPrintMachinesAccessoriesAll Q&A
Good Morning. For about a year I've been printing, using Modatex inks, onto cotton t-shirts with good results. Recently I began to print onto syntetic fabrics using the same inks. However I noticed that the print was cracking when I applied any tension. The ink was not absorbed by the fabric and remained on the surface and consequently is rigid. Only the Clear Base Modatex is elastic and sometimes I add it to the other colours and I get a better result. However I lose covering power on dark fabrics. Are there water based inks which I can use to print onto syntetic fabrics? Unfortunately I don't have any driers, so I can only use inks which dry naturally.

Elastic Modatex inks are available in Clear Base, White, Black, Yellow Europe, Magenta Europe, Cyan Europe (The last three used only in four colour printing).
If you print onto light coloured fabric I suggest that you add the Clear Base to the normal colours, to obtain the elasticity required.
If you print onto dark coloured fabric, it is better to print a base using Elastic White. Then you can print onto the base using the normal colours.
It is true that the elastic colours have less covering power than the normal ones.
The question about a drier is not important, because you have the same problem with plastisol inks.
Also in plastisol inks there is an elastic base. Usually people add the coloured pigments to the elastic base with good results.
