SUMMARY:S32 Advanced Ink Selection- Balancing Quality\, Efficiency\, &amp\; Cost
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed to give screen printers a more advanced understanding of how to choose inks that fit both their production needs and business goals. With inks representing one of the largest variable costs in screen printing\, the wrong choice can mean wasted time\, materials\, and profit. This session will equip attendees with the tools to evaluate inks based on performance\, compatibility\, and long-term value. By the end of this seminar\, attendees will:\n\nUnderstand how to choose the right white inks for different substrates and their shop environment.\nRecognize why choosing based on price alone often leads to higher costs in waste\, rework\, and inefficiency.\nLearn how to match inks to their equipment — from manual to high-speed automatics.\nExplore how garment type influences ink selection\, including tri-blends\, polyester\, and performance fabrics.\nGain insight into why some inks cost more\, and what the true value of a premium ink is.\nCompare different color matching systems and determine which approach best suits their business model.\nDevelop an awareness of the different ink chemistries (plastisol\, water-based\, silicone\, PVC-free\, hybrid\, specialty) and their applications.
