Permaset Aqua is a revolution in textile screen printing inks. Based on carefully selected pigments and the latest advances in polymer technology, Permaset Aqua delivers pure color, a superior soft handle and excellent durability in an easy to use ink that is environmentally friendly. Permaset Aqua includes both regular (transparent) and SuperCover (opaque) ranges together with 4 Metallic and 4 Process colors (CMYK) and a range of ancillaries. Each range includes 8 (Glow) fluorescent colors and also a Print Paste.
SuperCover colors are specifically designed to provide excellent coverage and opacity on dark fabrics. With 45 years of manufacturing experience, Permaset is recognised by both the fine artist and professional printing trade as the premier product amongst textile screen printing inks. Our heritage of innovation continues with a dynamic re-engineering of our successful line of quality fabric inks. Building on a record of industry leading products, Permaset Aqua breaks new ground; a water based screen print ink that offers superior performance and eliminates the historical trade-off between printability performance on the screen and post-production performance of the finished garment including user comfort and safety and environmental sustainability.
This 100% solvent free range is environmentally friendly. The pigments provide intense, vibrant colour, rich in coverage and deliver exceptional colour yield. The unique polymer binding the pigment to the fabric delivers exceptionally soft handle and yet shows excellent resistance to damage by rub, wash and dry-cleaning, all without the need for additives. The ink colours have light-fastness ratings of at least 6/8 on the Blue Wool scale - in fact most of the colors received ratings of 8/8.
Permaset Aqua breaks the rules, performing at a higher standard with enhanced screen stability and extended open time to produce cleaner results, longer. Ideal for use on a full range of fabrics including Cotton, Polyester, Silk and most synthetics. Permaset Aqua is also low in odor and can easily be cleaned up with water. A first-rate innovation, Permaset Aqua is the perfect, versatile textile ink solution; it provides a technically sound foundation while you provide the creativity and contribute to a safer environment.
