Waterbase Apparel Printing Company Near You
Water-based printing features inks that are soft, breathable and able to soak into the fabric of the garment, rather than sitting on top. When printed correctly, they result in crisp, bright prints that you can’t feel to the touch!

The Waterbase Screen Printing Process
Artwork Inspection
Waterbase printing works best with simple, bold designs, especially on light-colored garments. We optimize your artwork to ensure it transfers smoothly into the fabric.
Garment Selection
We help you choose garments that are best suited for waterbase printing, typically lighter fabrics, to ensure the ink bonds with the material without any heavy feel.
Ink Application
Waterbase inks are applied directly to the fabric, soaking in rather than sitting on top. This results in a soft, breathable print that feels like part of the garment.
Heat Curing
Once the printing is complete, the garment is cured to ensure the ink fully bonds with the fabric. After inspection, your custom apparel is ready for wear or distribution.
