Focus on Screen Printing
Screen printing remains a popular and profitable method of garment decoration despite the advent of digital printing methods. Dave Roper begins our annual take on this process with a look at its latest equipment and accessories.
DAVE ROPER Print essentials for your screen printing business D
ave Roper is proud to introduce its brand new range called the Print Essentials by Dave Roper. This range includes consumables which the company believes are essential for screen printing and will make your life easier when it comes to getting the job done.
Included in the Print Essentials range is the new water-based
Texprint inks from AMEX, these inks are user-friendly and ready to use straight out of the pot, no mixing required. The opacity on dark fabrics is fantastic, the inks also have a matt finish with a soft hand feel, which you would expect from a quality Italian water-based ink. These inks meet high standards and are ecological because theyʼre formaldehyde free, APEO free, PVC free and heavy metal free. The new range also follows the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Also included in the Print Essentials range by Dave Roper will be a new emulsion (for water-based, plastisol and solvent inks), curable reducer, water-based pallet glue, BADASS Squeegee, cleaning rags, pallet mask, aluminium squeegees and more.
