Water-based screen printing inks are the ideal choice for graphic applications where appearance, flexibility, and sustainability go hand in hand. They are particularly well suited for absorbent and semi-absorbent substrates such as paper, cardboard, wood, textiles, non-wovens, and certain coated materials. Water-based inks are widely used for posters, displays, packaging, point-of-sale materials, and decorative graphics, where a soft touch, high color depth, and a matte or satin finish are desired. Compared to solvent-based systems, water-based inks offer a more pleasant working environment, lower emissions, and easier cleaning, while modern formulations deliver reliable drying, good opacity, and stable print quality in both manual and automated production environments.
