Eco-Friendly Custom T-Shirt Printing with Water-Based Inks
At KH-Print, we specialize in custom T-shirt printing using environmentally responsible production methods and premium-quality materials. We provide sustainable garment printing for businesses, bands, sports teams, clubs, events, and clothing brands.
Whenever possible, we print with WBI (Water-Based Ink), a GOTS-approved water-based ink system that delivers exceptional print quality while supporting responsible textile production. We also offer specialty print effects, including puff printing and 3D printing, using environmentally conscious methods whenever technically feasible.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Garment Printing?
Choosing eco-friendly printing means investing in garments that not only look great but are produced with sustainability in mind.

- Environmentally friendly screen cleaning systems
- Printing on responsibly manufactured textiles
- Soft, breathable, and comfortable prints
What Are Water-Based Inks?
Water-based inks (WBI – Water-Based Ink) use water as their primary carrier instead of petroleum-based solvents. Unlike traditional plastisol inks, water-based inks penetrate the fabric fibres rather than sitting on top of the garment.
This creates prints that are:
- Softer to the touch
- More breathable
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Highly durable
- Ideal for premium cotton garments
Water-based inks are an excellent choice for custom T-shirt printing, printed sweatshirts, custom hoodies, and printed tote bags. They produce vibrant, high-resolution prints without the heavy plastic feel associated with many conventional printing methods.
At KH-Print, we use GOTS-approved water-based inks whenever they are the best technical solution for the garment and artwork, ensuring outstanding print quality without compromising durability.
Benefits of Water-Based Ink Printing
- Soft and breathable finish
- Sharp details and vibrant colours
- Excellent wash durability
- No heavy plastic feel
- Ink bonds directly with the fabric fibres
- Ideal for sustainable and organic textiles
- Comfortable even on large print areas
GOTS Printing for Organic Textiles
We use GOTS-approved printing inks for suitable projects, supporting responsible textile manufacturing from start to finish.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is one of the world's leading certifications for organic textiles. It sets strict environmental and social requirements covering the entire production process—from organic fibre cultivation and textile manufacturing to garment printing, chemical management, and ethical working conditions.
Choosing GOTS printing helps ensure that responsibly produced garments maintain the high environmental standards expected throughout the supply chain.
