Traxler Tees is committed to providing you the best bang for your buck!
We are currently running a free sale to upgrade your order to water base ink! What’s water base ink? It’s the softest, longest lasting, most eco friendly ink available at Traxler Tees.
Place an order of 24 pieces or more to be eligible (excludes water base discharge, excludes orders in which customers provide their garments).
PLASTISOL:
Pros – best color accuracy (based off pantone color match), most resistant to fading – it’s plastic, able to layer colors without any blending, cheapest, easiest to find a printer for.
Cons – creates the most ‘hand’ (feeling of ink on the shirt), can chip or peel over time, when printing over seams can bunch up in tight areas and crumble creating ugly areas in the end product, less ideal for creating faded or ‘vintage’ looking designs, not very ‘green’ (how important this is to your company could weigh heavily in your choice).
WATER BASE:
Pros – creates little to no ‘hand’, environmentally friendly, can print over seams better since the ink seeps into the shirt itself, great for creating distressed or worn out looking designs, able to layer plastisol over it without any problems (water based over plastisol however won’t dry on the shirt).
Cons – generally more expensive not right now! The upgrade is FREE, doesn’t work well (if at all) on dark garments (must use water base discharge), layering colors can cause some issues (as you can see through the layers creating some color mixing – unless we mute the ink with a white base), slight fade can occur after first wash resulting in what could be duller colors than expected.
