GIF Supplies is the exclusive distributor of Uras inks in the UK. The range which includes screen printing textile inks, digital sublimation, digital reactive and DTG pigment inks produce one of the softest hand-feel of any ink brand on the market. The combination of product quality, price and availability, make the brand’s products perfect for the UK market, which has suffered price increases and supply issues across many brands over the last year or so.
Mark Priest, business development manager of GIF Supplies, says: “We are very excited about the new inks we have in the pipeline, including a new fl ash white plastisol which ticks all the boxes in terms of fl ash curing speed, coverage, opacity and price. “We also have new Polyurethane-based,
water-based white and clear bases, which are easy to use and highly productive, due to their exceptionally long working time, which ensures it will not dry in the screen, either in production or when stopped. This ink series will commonly work for cotton, 50/ 50 and 100% polyester fabrics, subject to garment colour.” The full range of inks, over 160 products, are
designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible with more than 80 products in the highest tier of Oeko-Tex Eco-Certifi cation, certifi ed as fully 100%
eco-friendly. Offered with complementary Pantone Matching Ink Mixing Software, the screen ink range includes cross-linkers for the water-based inks and various special effects, such as metallics, pearlescent bases, cracking bases, high-build and many more. GIF Supplies believes the combination of service, product quality and price, gives an advantage over competitors and with the benefi ts of cheaper shipping routes to the UK GIF can offer excellent deals for bulk orders, especially whites.

TS Screen Wash from Screen Ink & Solvent Supplies is a water dilutable screen cleaner which is suitable for application by hand or using an automatic cleaning machine. It will remove most inks used in the screen print industry. This product is very low in odour and is (almost) hazard label free, making it an ideal choice for your screen reclaiming area.
When added to PSS Stencil Remover it becomes a one application mix for the removal of ink and stencil. TS Screen Wash can also be used to activate both KS and WS Haze Remover products afters they have dried and before washing down with water. How to use?
• Mix 1 part TS screen wash with two parts water. • Use a brush or cloth and apply to both sides of the screen in a circular motion – continue brushing until all of the ink layer is soft and loose.
• Rinse down both sides with mains pressure then use high pressure water spray. If you are using an automatic cleaning machine then mix one part TS with two or three parts water. If your machine has a single chemical tank you can add PSS stencil remover concentrate at the mix at a ratio of 1:25.
After removing both ink and stencil you can use KS or WS Haze remover and then dry. Activate with TS Screen Wash before removing with water pressure followed by high pressure spray.
