Union Ink expanded its family of Aerotex water-based formulations with the addition of Shimmer inks. The company says the special-effect water-based inks combine the brilliance and sparkle of plastisol with the soft hand feel of a water-based print. Shimmer inks can print through a 110-thread/in. mesh and are available in silver, gold, walnut, black, pink, mint green, powder blue, and purple. Union Ink Co.
