Printing Inks Q&A

I seem to get a lot of questions about the Permaset Aqua inks we use. I thought I would answer a couple of them publicly in case any of you may have encountered the same issues.

Q: Ashley from the UK wants to know how to avoid getting streaks when mixing different colours together.

A: We use a hand-held mixer and make sure to stop and scrap the inks from the bottom of the bowl/mixing container with a spatula every so often.

Q: Jane from the US was using the Permaset "Transparent White" ink in her colour mixing which has now been discontinued. What should she do?

A: I like using the Permaset "Print Paste" for diluting colours and for when you don't want a pastel shade. That would be achieved by mixing with the opaque "Standard White" ink.

Don't forget to heat-set all printed fabrics!
