We use 61T and 77T meshes with Grafco clear bases, but the opaque requires at least a 55T and flashing between colours, but we hope we can eliminate some of the flash curing with practice.

I know there it is ban for children under 3 years. I know there is a ban from CPSIA since february in US for children wear under 12, which is a good point. In my shop we are 100% phthalate free since the beginning, and are going to switch to wilflex PC epic because of the special effects you can have. We use a lot wilflex hybrid discharge NF as well. I am happy to read that you can print wet on wet with grafco ink. I mostly use N205 thread on light with the brand of waterbase ink I use today. I will see if I have to change with grafco !

I was also lead to believe in some European countries (Italy??) ink manufacture has to meet standards which are not in place in the States or the UK. I will try to find out more and clarify this in another post or change the information here if it is incorrect. We like Grafcos Newtex products, both the opaque and clear bases, the opaque water based inks have been difficult to get to grips with but the print quality is superb. We discharge with wilflex NF which can be used wet on wet. Thanks for your comments.

Even plastisol ink follow the EN71/3 standard. I know and speak with some other screenprinting shop in France, and I can say that the majority use plastisol with phtalates. Most of them have never or don't want to use water based ink because it is more pain in production. In my shop half the production in waterbased ink, from KFG, also italian, but I bought a newtex starting kit last week just to see the difference. I found a great deal of informations on this website, thank you ! Hi,
