Pigment screen printing is a popular method used to apply designs and colors onto textiles. This technique utilizes pigment-based inks that sit on top of the fabric rather than being absorbed, allowing for vibrant colors and detailed designs. The inks are typically formulated with a binder that helps them adhere to the surface of the fabric, making them suitable for a variety of textiles, including cotton, polyester, and blends.
| Ink type | Water-based or plastisol |
