Eco-Friendly Printing, Sustainable Textile Printing

We offer eco-friendly textile printing, providing an environmentally responsible and sustainable printing process, including all special effects tailored to the customer's needs and ideas.

We use WBI Water-Based Ink – water-soluble inks – or phthalate-free plastisol-based inks.

Our printing inks are GOTS-certified for sustainability.

Screen washing is performed using an environmentally friendly automatic screen cleaning system.

Some of the prints in our gallery are made with eco-friendly water-based inks. You can recognize them by the WBI label.

Eco-Friendly WBI Water-Based Ink Printing

Sustainable textile printing and responsibility are our top priorities, especially when working with ethically produced garments.

Printing with eco-friendly WBI Water-Based Ink results in softer and more comfortable prints, especially on larger color surfaces, compared to traditional plastisol-based printing.

Unlike plastisol, WBI ink soaks into the fabric and fibers differently, providing a nearly weightless feel when printing on white or light-colored garments without an underbase.

Perfecting WBI printing took several years of testing, production adjustments, trade show visits, and factory collaborations with ink manufacturers to ensure optimal results.

Why Choose WBI Printing?

Soft touch – Ink absorbs into the fabric instead of sitting on top.
Sharper detail – Superior edge definition compared to plastisol inks.
Breathable – Large prints don’t feel hot or suffocating.
Excellent wash durability – Maintains vibrant colors and structure.
Smooth, high-quality finish – No plasticky, transfer-like feel.
No fabric fuzz after washing – Prevents a worn-out look.
Eco-friendly & sustainable – The best choice for responsible textile printing.

Discharge Ink – Etching Print Technique

Discharge Ink is another water-based printing method that removes the original dye from the fabric, revealing the garment’s natural off-white tone in printed areas.

It can be lightly tinted with white pigment for a subtle off-white effect or colored with basic shades like red, green, and yellow. However, it does not support precise PANTONE matching.

⚠️ Limitations: Discharge printing does not work on Royal Blue or Burgundy Red fabrics due to dye chemistry.

🔹 Feels like fabric – The print is completely integrated into the textile.
🔹 Extremely soft – No additional ink layer on top.
🔹 Minimum order of 100 pcs – Due to the multi-step process.

Discharge printing is ideal for achieving a natural, ultra-soft, and high-quality finish on large production runs.
