Screen printing ink is a special type of ink used for screen printing and is typically used to print on a variety of materials such as paper, fabric, metal, plastic, glass, etc. This ink has good adhesion and durability, producing clear patterns and text on different surfaces. They can be divided into different types such as water-based ink, solvent-based ink and UV-curable ink, LED-curable ink,plastisol screen ink based on different application requirements. When choosing the right screen printing ink, you need to consider factors such as the desired printing effect, the type of material, and the environmental conditions.
