New water-based screen-printing ink with accelerated cure time

US-based Avient has released a new ink, announcing the addition of MagnaPrint Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White to its MagnaColours portfolio of inks for the textile industry. This new ink offers screen printers a sustainable, water-based solution for digital hybrid printing, featuring an impressive cure profile and eliminating the need for a top coat.

“MagnaPrint Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White is an exciting, PVC-free addition to the MagnaColours portfolio, offering a curing time that is half as long as the leading competitor’s water-based ink,” says Jake Ojeda, Global Marketing Director and Americas Sales Director of Color, Additives, and Inks at Avient.

“This efficiency not only allows for reduced energy consumption during printing but also enhances overall throughput, giving printers even more versatility in achieving their screen-printing sustainability goals.” 
Hybrid screen printing, also called digital hybrid screen printing, combines traditional screen printing with digital printing technology. This method is versatile and suitable for printing on various fabric types for a wide range of screen-printing projects. MagnaPrint Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White offers a flexible, soft, high-opacity, water-based ink printing experience that can be used as a base for hybrid digital screen-printing systems. This ink provides impeccable detail, vibrancy, and strong wash fastness without needing a topcoat or additives. 

MagnaPrint Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White is certified to ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX with ZDHC Conformance Level 3 and GOTS approval.
