Looking for a way to ensure your colors will pop on dark fabrics without laying down an undercoat of white ink?

This break-through product will allow you to achieve bright, vibrant color on dyed dark fabrics! Simply add to your screen ink, screen and steam. This process helps retain a softer hand on your fabric than is achievable with multiple layers of ink and reduces the amount of screening necessary.

Works only on dyed fabrics and we recommend testing to ensure that the dye used in your fabric is dischargable.

Discharge Paste will remove most fiber reactive colors, direct dyes and acid dyes from fabric. As easy as 1-2-3! Apply, iron with steam and wash out.

Jacquard Professional Screen Printing Inks are professional quality and permanent on most non-porous surfaces including: fabric, paper, plastic, vinyl, leather, metal and more!

These inks break new ground with an appreciably longer open time in the screen in comparison to other water-based products making them perfect for small production runs. They screen beautifully with excellent resolution. Jacquard Professional Screen Printing Inks are particularly well suited for commercial applications and will not wrinkle paper when screening art prints. These inks are archival and lightfast. Cleanup is easy with just soap and water. Fabrics must be heat set for permanence and wash-fastness. Once set, the inks are fully washable and dry-cleanable on all natural and synthetic fabrics.

Jacquard Products' complete collection of screen inks is available in 31 colors, plus an extender. The color line includes 18 semi-transparent inks, 4 metallics inks, 9 opaque inks and a CMY Process Color System. Jacquard Professional Screen Printing Inks are packaged in 4 oz. and 8 oz. sizes for smaller projects. Commercial studios will appreciate the 16 oz. and 1 gallon sizes for larger production runs.

Jacquard Products has two screen printing kits featuring Jacquard Professional Screen Printing Inks that will appeal to beginners and professional screen printers alike. The Semi-Transparent Colors Screen Printing Kit is designed for printing on light backgrounds. The Opaque Colors Screen Printing Kit is designed for printing on dark backgrounds.
