SUMMARY:AP03 &#8211\; WB CAMP: When Water-Based Works &amp\; When It Doesn&#8217\;t
DESCRIPTION:Water-based ink can produce some of the softest\, most impressive prints in the industry\, but it's not always the right choice. Join Daniel Bush and John Magee for a practical look at when to use water-based inks\, when to choose something else\, and how to get consistent results. Explore artwork\, garments\, ink selection\, mixing\, screen setup\, and curing before heading to ROQ Atrium Booth #2701 immediately after class for a limited live shirt-printing experience using the artwork and techniques covered in the session.\nWho Should Come\nScreen printers\, shop owners\, production managers\, and decorators interested in learning or improving water-based printing. Ideal for beginners exploring water-based inks and experienced printers looking to improve consistency\, troubleshoot problems\, or expand their decoration capabilities.\nWhat They Will Learn\n\nWhen to Use Water-Based Ink: Understand which designs\, garments\, order types\, and customer expectations make water-based printing the right choice.\nWhen Water-Based Doesn't Work: Recognize limitations involving fabric compatibility\, opacity\, production conditions\, curing\, and cost\, and when another ink system may be better.\nArtwork &amp\; Print Theory: Learn how separations\, mesh\, stencil\, underbases\, and print sequence affect water-based results.\nChoosing the Right Ink System: Compare traditional water-based\, discharge\, high-solids acrylic\, and hybrid approaches.\nInk Mixing &amp\; Preparation: Understand pigments\, additives\, viscosity\, and mixing practices that improve color consistency and production reliability.\nPress Setup &amp\; Production: Explore screen setup\, ink management\, workflow\, and techniques for avoiding drying in the screen and other common problems.\nCuring &amp\; Quality Control: Learn how to achieve proper curing\, maintain a soft hand\, and troubleshoot common print failures.
