Screen printing

Environmentally conscious brands now have a biobased alternative for screen printing vibrant colour on textiles and packaging

Bold colour, clean conscience

Wool Source Pigments are a safer, more sustainable colour solution for screen printing inks, providing comparable colour and wash fastness to traditional pigments without the nasties.

Our pigments mix well in standard bases for plastisol and water-based inks and work at a range of inclusion rates for tailored colour payoffs.

Many traditional synthetic organic pigments are derived from fossil fuels, require large-scale mining for extraction or consume large amounts of energy to process. At end of life, most are non-biodegradable, contributing to potential long-lasting waste in air, soil and waterways.

In contrast, Wool Source Pigments are ethically sourced, minimally processed and made to contribute to a circular economy.
