For those that want to know the actual definition of "corrogated": shaped into alternate ridges and grooves. It could be used in roofing or walls or whatever to add structure strength.

[@KIDNOFACE]

Thanks!!! Y’all kept it real

[@maximuscolby799]

Thanks! This has been super helpful

[@brendastuntz1727]

You mentioned using the discharge on 100% cotton, but what about cotton blends, silk, polyester, rayon and other synthetics? It may seem like a weird question, but I do fashion design and really would love to be able to create specialty prints on a small scale for some of my work. Do you have an ink recommendation that would work for those fibers? I would prefer something that is not plastisol if possible.

[@OhioInkSupply]

Yes. You will need a 100% cotton garment in order for discharge processes to work properly. Water based inks give you a nice fashion-forward feel. Check out silicone based inks as well. Very soft. We can assist on both fronts. Feel free to call our offices on Monday when we are back or check out our website.

[@midnight9666]

I am sorry if this is off-topic but what about inks for silk printing? What inks suitable for printing on silk fabric?

[@RickMandyProvence]

Either water base or Plastisol will work.

[@OhioInkSupply]

Water base or Plastisol

[@EdgarQalotaki]

Thanks was really helpful. Just one question from 1,2,3 which lasts the longest....on t-shirts

[@OhioInkSupply]

Plastisol

[@Jeffreynelius]

@@OhioInkSupply what happens to the discharge version over time?

[@OhioInkSupply]

@@Jeffreynelius Nothing. Discharge is the process of literally removing the pigment from the garment. It lasts the longest before it is not "ink" . It literally is the shirt (re dyed)

[@Jeffreynelius]

@@OhioInkSupply oh okay, thank you!

Hey hi may I have your Facebook?

[@edenaisle9265]

question... u said plastisol is plastic polymer based ink.... so is solvent based is also plastisol? or solvent based is just another type of ink? second question .... can partisol ink can use for type woven bag?

[@OhioInkSupply]

Solvent is solvent based. It's a different type of ink that is typically either air or UV cured. Mostly used in promotional products printing or signage. It aheres well to most plastics. Ventilation is a must because it's pretty smelly. Plastisol can be used for most textiles including bags. Feel free to send us an email with the exact bag you're referring to and we will be able to let you know if our ink will work for you. [e-mail]

[@sashal8239]

Do you know of any inks that would be good for a stretchy fabric like spandex? I need something that will be durable and won’t deform the design!

[@OhioInkSupply]

Our Poly line prints really well on most spandex materials. I recommend grabbing a quart and testing it out. Fluid Inks - Poly.
