Permaset inks
I just received some new inks from Permaset. They are an ink company from Australia and are completely solvent free and water based. I plan on doing some experiments with nylon, plastics, paper, wood and a variety of materials to test the inks durability. it's supposed to be excellent for printing both on fabric and paper.

Green Silkscreen Printing
Aloha to all. Well I wanted to start this blog so I could document my own endeavors in the green silkscreen printing world as well as others. There have been so many advances in this field, so much to learn in regards to inks, techniques, solvents and marketing techniques in regards to this and also no blog by an individual printer covering this particular issue, that I thought I'd start one up. Sorry about my run on sentence there but I think I said it all. So in regards to my experience as a printer, I've been printing for about 10 years using water based inks the whole time. I've also been using green solvents for about 3 years which work great. Anyhow I'm off to print up some hemp/organic cotton shirts!
Best,
Nathalie
