Recommendations for Water-Based Inks for Vinyl Needed
I'm looking to dust off my rusting equipment and screen some stickers but I've never used water-based inks before and I want to try them. Everyone seems to love them. What brands are best for vinyl? I think BLT said he uses Nazdar 2700 series. What was that TW stuff Kozik was recommending? Any other suggestions?

I dont think the TW will work with vinyl.
I use Nazdar 2700, it needs to cure for about a day or two but then it is totally weather proof, I should know I live in Seattle and I've seen stickers I printed years ago and they still look fine.

Do they sell that series in anything smaller than gallons? Also, I'm in Houston, land of humidity, should I let them cure longer than you do?

Yeah, they sell quarts.
I'm only concerned with cure time when I think their going to be in rain. I would think that no matter what they should cure fully in 2 days.

Thanks for the info. I looked up the nazdar online store and found the series sizes and prices. I'm going to check with a local supplier for his prices but at least I have an idea of the budget I'll need.

I use one ink for everything, I wouldnt print stickers if I had to use a different ink.

Brian,
Can these inks be used on 100lb. paper? What paper do you use with this series?

My main paper is 110lb index but I've printed it on gloss paper, vellum bristol, chip board, metal, plastic...works on pretty much anything.
