PVC-Free Inks

International Coatings and Zydex teamed up to create what they describe as an excellent alternative to other PVC-free plastisol inks. GEN IV Series ink is a PVC-free, Phthalate-free, eco-friendly ink for the garment screen-printing industry. “GEN IV is an innovative high-solids ink that produces a very soft hand with excellent opacity and offers many of the same advantages of traditional plasitsol inks,” says Stephen Kane, president of International Coatings. The ink can be used on manual and automatic presses and requires no harsh solvents or chemicals for cleanup. The GEN IV line includes 19 primary colors and several specialty inks, such as Clear Base, Puff Additive, Foil/Transfer Adhesive, and Glitter Base.
