Professional Matsui Water-Based Screen Printing Inks & Specialty Systems

Kolormatrix offers Matsui water-based screen printing inks and specialty products for apparel decorators, startup shops and commercial production environments.

Matsui is widely known for professional water-based ink systems designed for soft-hand prints, detailed artwork, specialty applications and production-focused screen printing workflows. Matsui products are commonly used for direct printing, mixing systems, discharge-style workflows, performance fabrics and advanced apparel decoration.

Whether you're printing fashion apparel, retail graphics, soft-hand designs, high-detail artwork or specialty effects, Matsui products help screen printers create premium results with a softer feel than many traditional ink systems.

Why Choose Matsui?

Matsui water-based products are commonly used by screen printers who want:

✔ soft-hand prints
✔ professional water-based workflow
✔ specialty apparel applications
✔ detailed artwork capability
✔ custom color mixing options
✔ performance fabric solutions
✔ premium retail-style results

Water-based printing requires more attention to workflow than plastisol, but when done correctly it can produce excellent softness, detail and garment feel.

Matsui Water-Based Ink

Matsui water-based inks are designed for apparel screen printing workflows where softness, detail and garment feel matter.

Matsui inks may be used for:

✔ direct printing
✔ high-detail artwork
✔ spot-color printing
✔ performance fabrics
✔ soft-hand fashion prints
✔ retail apparel graphics
✔ custom color mixing

Water-based ink can create a different feel than plastisol because it can become more integrated into the garment rather than sitting heavily on top of the fabric.

White & Spot Color Printing

Matsui white and spot color inks support production workflows where coverage, detail and print feel matter.

Examples include:

✔ white ink for cotton garments
✔ white ink for performance fabrics
✔ spot black printing
✔ high-detail graphics
✔ soft-hand direct prints
✔ custom mixed colors

Choosing the right white ink, mesh count and garment type is important for production results.

Water-Based Workflow Considerations

Water-based screen printing requires strong production habits.

Important workflow factors include:

✔ ink mixing
✔ screen moisture control
✔ proper additives
✔ correct curing
✔ screen open time
✔ garment testing
✔ wash testing

Matsui-related training resources often emphasize testing, additives, proper mixing, and keeping ink workable during production.
