Texcraft Deco Fabric Printing Inks - Opaque Colours

Texcraft’s Deco Opaque Colours ink series is a water-based textile printing ink engineered for high-opacity prints on natural fabrics, especially darker garments. It delivers strong colour coverage, low hand-feel and is suitable for screen printing or hand stencilling. The product is compatible with Texcraft’s base systems and supports custom colour mixing.

Benefits

  • Allows designers and makers to print bold colours on dark garments with confidence.
  • Water-based formulation means fewer toxins and simpler clean-up compared with solvent-based systems.
  • Mixable in the Deco system to build custom shades or palettes specific to your brand.
  • Suitable for both studio and small-batch production environments.
  • Retains textile drape and comfort rather than heavy plastisol feel.

Perfect For:

  • Printing bold motifs or brand graphics on dark t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies or tote bags.
  • Capsule clothing collections where bright, opaque colour is essential.
  • Small production runs where colour consistency and durability matter.
  • Workshops or artisan studios producing custom apparel with high-impact prints
  • Home textile pieces (throws, cushions) where colour coverage and fabric feel are both required.

  • High-opacity, water-based ink designed for darker coloured fabrics; excellent pigment loading for bright output.
  • Soft-hand finish retains fabric feel; designed for garments requiring comfort and durability.
  • Suitable sizes provided for hobby through production (check local stock for pack sizes).
  • Use appropriate mesh (e.g., ~110-160 T) depending on ink deposit and design complexity.
  • Pre-wash garments; apply ink with clean screens and press/heat-set per manufacturer guidelines.
  • Clean screens promptly after use to maintain pigment flow and avoid build-up.

  • Ensure colour matching and consistency across batches by retaining formula records or swatches.
  • Select correct mesh grade and squeegee hardness—opaque inks may require moderate deposit to achieve coverage. – Perform test prints on the actual substrate (especially dark fabric) to verify colour and cure. – Use heat-setting (according to Texcraft instruction) to ensure wash-fastness. – Store leftover ink sealed in a cool, dry place; stir before reuse if pigment has settled.
