The AquaSoft Series of water-based textile inks is an improved, next generation version of the
Aquatex Series. Images printed with AquaSoft will stay open far longer than the previous
version and produce brilliant, soft-feeling prints on white or light-coloured garments that
stretch and retract easily. AquaSoft also has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of
substrates such as spandex, leather, lycra, cotton/poly blends and porous nylons. Prints
made with AquaSoft are fully washable and can be dry cleaned. They can also be used for
painting, air brushing, or printing paper or wood. For low-humidity environments an addition
of 5-30% by weight of AquaLife Retarder will greatly extend stay-open time. If using a short
dryer where a dwell time of 90 seconds cannot be reached, or if air drying, an addition of 5%
AquaFix Additive will allow the ink to fully cure after 72 hours.
