Focus on Consumables A screen printer’s dream Pitch Black from Achitex Minerva
Textile screen print ink is the lifeblood of the garment decoration industry. It’s the magic that turns the blank garment into something appealing to the consumer, be it at a rock concert, or a company logo, the garment needs to have a visual impact. Achitex Minerva’s new water-based Rubber White, has precisely this effect. A very bright white, that gives great contrast against all dark garments and retains a soft feel for that all-important touch test, that both printers and consumers alike all perform.
Given a number of readers here are printers and while aesthetics is important, it’s on-press that we are more concerned with, especially as we enjoy the warm summer months.
This is where Rubber White really wins. Incorporating Minerva’s, No-Dry Technology, Rubber White’s screen stability is a printer’s dream. You will have tried other water-based whites. Now it`s time to try the Nike-approved, premium, on- press performance Rubber White from Minerva. It truly is a dream of an ink.

Also, from Achitex Minerva is an awesome water-based Black. Pitch Black is not just a Vin Diesel fi lm from over 20 years ago, it’s quite simply the best water-based Black that Liam Stubbings from Pyramid has seen in his 36 years in the screen print industry. With enhanced fi bre matt down properties, Minerva’s No Dry Technology, and a true jet-black appearance, it’s easy to see why some of the world’s leading water-based printers are making the change to Pitch Black. From Southeast Asia to South America and with Europe in between, this is the go too product for both printers and big brands alike.
Both the Rubber White, and the Minermix Pantone mixing system from Minerva, have a low temperature curing schedule, saving money on those ever-increasing utility bills that we are all experiencing now.

FALC Threads returns to the UK after a decade away
For all you embroiderers out there, that have either quality, supply, or are simply under margin pressure, for the last 18 months, a brand not seen in the UK for well over a decade has been taking signifi cant market share after being reintroduced in to the market, and is able to solve those three problems for you.
FALC Threads are now sold exclusively by Enigma Imaging Supplies in the UK and Ireland. With over 90 years of experience, in processing threads and yarns in Italy, FALC Threads are the high-quality threads that set the standard in performance.
Given the move globally away from rayon to polyester FALC has focused on this thread technology, to assist in this. FALC has developed a proprietary lubricant that ensures the threads can run at the maximum speed, without suffering the breaks normally associated with other brands. This is particularly true of metallic threads, if you think you have to slow your machine down to produce a metallic design, give the Filomet from FALC a try – you will not be disappointed!
While polyester remains FALC’s focus, look out for exiting new eco-friendly products from FALC, due for launch in the very near future.
