From our early days, Liberty Graphics has used only water-based ink in our printing process. PVC-free water-based ink gives us a healthy workplace and gives our customers a soft-to-the-hand garment. Unlike conventional print shops, the only solvent we need is water. After printing, in our clean up, we filter and reuse the water. The soft feel of the printed area is because water is absorbed by the fibers of the garment as opposed to petroleum-based ink, which sits on top of the product. The same characteristic, which allows our printed product to be pressed with a hot iron without fear of melting plastic, allows air to move freely through the garment's fibers when the active body heats up. We are sure you will agree. That is why we guarantee your satisfaction.

Here's what the Sierra club has to say on the subject of Water-based Ink:

"The most commonly used inks are plastisol, a form of polyvinyl chloride. The production and disposal of PVC release carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting dioxins into the environment... Silk screen with Water-based Ink." --Sierra Club Magazine, Jan./Feb. 1999
