Specialty Inks
Epoxy
A two part, high gloss ink formulated to cure at ambient temperature, and give excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. It is recommended primarily for indoor use, but short term outdoor use is possible. Common substrates would be most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass ceramics, poyesters, and treated polyethylene and polypropylene (bottle printing)
Glass-etch

Rubber / Balloon

Maprin Water-Based Textile
A non-toxic, water based textile ink formulated for airbrushing, screenprinting, brushing, and stamping. Leave a soft hand feel and must be heat cured to become sun-fast, wash-fast, and fade resistant.
Flock Adhesive

QCM Inks
XOLB
XOLB inks are high opacity, multi-purpose inks designed for thin film opaque printing.The smooth, creamy consistency leaves an even uniform colour on white flash bases and can be opaque on dark garments without a white base, using screen meshes as fine as 160. XOLB inks are fast flashing, cure with a non-tack surface and contain clean, bright pigments.
Glitter
Glitter Plastisol is a reflective ink that offers total opacity. They are creamy and easy to print, excellent as high-light colours on dark garments. They can be used as overprint colours for special effects.
Fluorescent
Bright, vivid, fluorescent colours designed for printing on white garments or over a white underbase if printing on dark garments.
ATP/Athletic Transfer
Heavy bodied, rubbery ink designed for printing and numbering on athletic wear. It also works well as a cold peel transfer ink. It has low bleed characteristics and also exhibits a stretch quality.
Water-Based
WB inks are user friendly, however to a plastisol user they may seem more difficult. Water soluable inks are made of heat setting binder and pigment. They penetrate the fabric surface coating individual fibers with a thin film. The finish ( non glossy) has a soft hand. The printed surface opens with the weave when stretched.
Four Colour Process
Superior quality transparent plastisol formulated to achieve the most accurate four colour process reproduction. These colours are finely milled allowing the ink to pass easily though the fine mesh counts. For best results print on white garments, cotton, or cotton/polyester blends of a tight weave. Open weave garments, use a white underlay or base print.
Stable Puff
TSP Puff inks are formulated to produce a high puff effect on a variety of fabrics. These inks print smooth and have an even rise for a clean sharp print. They have low bleed qualities and are very durable when properly cured.
