Extend acrylic or fabric inks without losing vibrancy or coverage
Transparent Base extends your screen printing ink while maintaining its working properties and intensity. Add up to 15% to Speedball's acrylic or fabric inks when you need to slow drying time, improve flow through fine meshes, or adjust consistency without diluting color strength. This controlled viscosity adjustment proves essential when printing detailed designs where standard ink consistency clogs screens or dries too quickly during multi-pass registration.
The base integrates completely into your ink mixture, creating a homogeneous blend that behaves predictably across your squeegee passes. Unlike simply adding water, which compromises adhesion and permanence, this formulation preserves the chemical integrity of your ink system. Your prints maintain proper opacity, durability, and wash-fastness while gaining the extended open time needed for precise registration work.
Professional screen printers keep this base on hand for those inevitable moments when atmospheric conditions, mesh count, or design complexity demand workflow adjustments. Mix small test batches to dial in your ideal consistency, then scale up confidently knowing you're not sacrificing print quality for workability.
