Coming Soon: Paramount White
What’s so special about our new Paramount White? Quite simply, it is the best low bleed ink we’ve developed or seen on the market. Our new Paramount White is paramount in bleed resistance, quality, performance, printability for low mesh counts and all the other outstanding attributes associated with a great ink. And all of that with no bleaching agents or phthalates! “Really?” Really!!!
We have tested our Paramount White against other whites, and it outperforms them on just about all levels.
- Phthalate Free
- Superior bleed resistance
- Ideal for high and low mesh counts
- Very opaque and smooth finish
- Bright
- Fast flash
Lool for more updates soon!
Coming Soon: PVC-Free HD
|
Our lab has been very busy this summer! We are now beta-testing our brand new PVC-Free, Phthalate-Free High Density ink. Initial responses have been great! We’ll be previewing it at the upcoming SGIA show. Come by the booth to check it out! We’ll have samples on hand to show you. |
Coming Soon: Phthalate-Free HD
We’re completing testing on our new Phthalate-Free High Density plastisol ink. The phthalate-free formulation allows printers to use this ink for any jobs that call for phthalate-free or phthalate compliant ink products. |

GEN IV Update
|
With all the stricter regulations coming up and all the major retailers announcing that they are “going green,” why not just use our eco-friendly PVC-free, Phthalate-free, no heavy metal containing GEN IV ink series? Simply clean with water, and the ink resists drying on the screens.
Try some today! |
SGIA Look-Ahead
|
SGIA is upon us. This year’s show in Atlanta runs from October 15th through 18th.
We invite you to visit us and come to one of our exciting screen printing demos at the booth – Booth 3131. We’ll be showcasing new products, ideas and techniques. |
Hot Seller: 714 White
Our 714 Lo-Bleed White has been selling off the shelves this summer. Printers have re-discovered 714’s fast flashing, low-low tack properties and have commented on its opacity as well. Printers are falling in love with 714 all over again. Why not try this product again yourself? You might fall in love with it again as well… |
NEW Metallic Shimmer Colors
Due to popular demand, International Coatings recently introduced new fashion colors for its pre-mixed Metallic Shimmers: 146 Ruby Red Metallic, 148 Royal Metallic, 149 Purple Metallic and 147 Green Metallic.
The new Metallic Shimmers add a bright, non-tarnishing metallic sparkle to printed garments. The inks contain fine, shimmering glitter flake in a low bleed, low fusion, easy-to-print base that performs well on automatic and manual printers.
The new fashion colors enhance our existing line of Metallic Shimmers which also includes 156 Metallic Silver, 157 Metallic Gold and 158 Metallic Copper. Read our press release here.
