Immediately Improve Your Artwork! Use Permaset inks!

Don’t underestimate the power of good materials to enhance your artwork.

What if you could change the quality of your screen print work, go from so-so to pro, by just changing materials? Improve the hand feel, the washability, the coverage and the colour vibrancy all by switching your inks. And be a bit more environmentally friendly on top of all that? If you’re anything like me I bet you’ll do it.

For years I worked with a pure pigment + extender base system. The pigments came from one of three companies ranging from student grade to pro quality depending on where I lived and what was available. I would mix them into the extender base I was using at that time.  I had never considered using premix pigments until I heard people raving about this new pigment system ‘Permaset’. So I tried the pigments and I was an instant convert.

I had underestimated how nice it was to be able to use so many great colours straight from the bottle. I can still customize my colours as needed by adding the premixes together or adding in white, black or extender base. 

Heat setting them is easy and the washability is unsurpassed. Before, I accepted the fact that sometimes the pigments would wash well but have the odd bit of fading. Not with permaset. and the hand feel is really soft- even with their opaques. Sometimes I think you would swear the print feels like it’s dye not pigment.

You can buy Permaset in better art supply stores or you can buy them here. Check out my other posts with demo’s of the inks so you can see for yourself!
