Ecotex® Screen Printing Jet Black (Gallon - 128oz.) - Water Based Jet Black Fabric Ink, Silk Screen Paint - Screen Print Direct®, USA Made

I like using jaquard water based ink, but I thought I’d give this a try. It is lighter, and a little too creamy, and it flakes into little tiny pieces as it dries (dries much faster than other inks)It does its job but I still like jaquard ink it’s a little heavier and keeps a thicker consistency longer and I get much longer runs out of it. You’ll just have to work a lot faster with this ink.

Mixed this ink with 5-6% discharge additive and had great results. Put it through our dryer at 300 degrees (in the heat chamber for 90 seconds). Bright colors with a soft hand (after washing). I added a bit of water to the ink as well to improve consistency. Image shown was printed on a black cotton tee.

Good product

Great product so far. Tried speedball ink & it kept cracking even though I was doing exactly what I should. I switched to ecotex using the same shirt & same exact process with no cracking! So happy

Works perfectly. Just add activator and go. I use this stuff and all the other discharge inks from ecotex all the time and the results are just as good as any other I have tried.

So angry about this one. I was hopping to improve cracking on white ink. I was shipped emulsion the first time, second time I received what seems to be correct, however I went to use it and after two passes the frame was clogging. I’m almost certain this is plastisol ink and was mislabeled. I don’t use that so I didn’t have the proper cleaning products needed and now I have a screen that is ruined because I cannot clean it out and had orders that needed to be completed. How do you mess up the product you are shipping out and then mislabel

I’m an amateur, home screen printer. This water based ink worked great. Good coverage. Drys easily. Nice consistency. All at a reasonable price. I’ll definitely be buying it again.

This is a review of the white ink. I agree with other reviewers that it is too thick and clogs the screen. I added 2-3 tablespoons of water and stirred until creamy smooth. It is smoother and thicker than Speedball white ink. If you use a Teflon sheet to cure is comes off as a softer version of plastisol ink. It's bright and white after two passe,s but I wouldn't say it's better than Speedball. I water down Speedball white a little bit as well. Water-based ink evaporates over time so you will need to add a little water from time to time as you get down to the bottom of the container.
