Water Based Printing

Our printers are the only certified organic textile printer in the world.

As such the inks they use are top secret! And we can’t divulge anything about it to you! Suffice to say we are Certified Organic by the Soil Association.  However, as far as the printing technique is concerned waterbased (screen) printing gives a 'soft to the touch' handle to the garment.  The ink becomes part of the fabric as opposed to sitting on top of the fabric.

The benefits of this is that waterbased inks will not crack or peel off over time as with PVC based inks that have a raised and rubbery or plastic feel to them. 

You will feel a little ink residue when you first handle your new T-shirt but that will soon disappear and you will be left with a fabulously soft and luxurious garment.
