Benefits of Permaset
There are numerous great benefits to using Permaset
water-based textile and graphic inks. Due to the lack of chemicals
used in the ink, they are far better for the environment. They are
also free from heavy metals and lead, therefore they are neither
toxic to humans nor the environment. These inks can be used for
printing on clothing for babies, highlighting the safety of this
specific water-based ink.

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 drycleaning, all
without the need for additives. Ideal for use on a full

synthetics. Permaset Aqua is also low in odour and can easily

Permaprint Premium is a waterbased screen printing ink that is formulated to provide excellent adhesion on a wide range of substrates. It exhibits exceptional water resistance once dried. This makes it a highly versatile multipurpose screen printing ink that is safe for the printer and friendly to the environment.
Permaprint Premium inks are 100% solvent free, so equipment can be easily cleaned with water and solvent fumes are eliminated.
Suitable Substrates
Permaprint Premium inks are suited to printing on sealed paper, cardboard, tyvek, polyesters (mylar), polycarbonates (lexan), some coated metals and poly-styrene.
