Screen Printing Inks
Screen Printing Inks — Plastisol, Water-Based, Silicone, UV & More
Screen printing ink is the heart of every custom print — and choosing the right ink type for your fabric, design and production workflow makes all the difference. River City Supply carries every major ink system: plastisol (the industry standard for t-shirt printing), water-based and discharge (ultra-soft, no-hand-feel prints on cotton), silicone (the softest hand feel available), UV-curable (for hard substrates and industrial printing), solvent-based (signage and non-textile surfaces), and specialty poster & paper inks.
From Inktek, Matsui, TW Graphics, Visprox and Allure Glow to in-house Monarch color matching, we stock the inks production shops rely on — backed by expert help choosing the right ink for the job. Serving printers nationwide since 2008.
