Permaprint Premium Inks are a 100% solvent free environmentally friendly ink.
Produce bright, high-opacity white graphics with Permaprint Premium Opaque White, a professional water-based screen printing ink developed for demanding graphic printing applications. Unlike the transparent Aquatone Mixing Colors, Opaque White is specifically formulated to provide excellent hiding power and brilliant white coverage on a wide variety of graphic substrates. It is ideal for posters, packaging, decals, stickers, signage, wallpaper, art reproductions, and specialty printed graphics requiring a crisp, opaque white finish.
Permaprint Premium Opaque White also serves as the recommended underbase for printing Aquatone colors and Pearl Metallic inks on dark materials, helping maximize color brilliance and print opacity. Its air-dry formulation develops very good water resistance after drying while printing smoothly on sealed paper, cardboard, polyester (Mylar®), polycarbonate, Coroplast®, Tyvek®, Perspex® (PMMA), polystyrene, wood, glass, and select coated metal substrates. The ink is 100% solvent free, cleans up easily with water, and contains no ozone-depleting chemicals, aromatic hydrocarbons, PVC resin, or phthalate plasticizers.
