The AquaPro Series is an improved, next generation Water based textile ink that is specifically formulated for printing on automatic presses. AquaPro’s ability to rewet itself creates longer open stencil time resulting in faster production speeds and less downtime. It flashes quickly with low after flash tack creating less need for cool down time when printing multi colour designs. AquaPro not only produces brilliant, soft hand prints on dark garments that will stretch and retract easily but, also have excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates such as spandex, leather, lycra, cotton/poly blends and porous nylons. Prints made with AquaPro are fully washable and can be dry cleaned. In low-humidity environments an addition of 5-30% by weight of 5194 AquaLife Retarder will greatly extend stay-open time.
AquaPro base is compatible any water base pigment concentrate including Aqua Series PCWB to create a wide range of high opacity colours.
