What’s a good value brand of ink for screen printing? Looking for a good strong opaque ink that is somewhat cheap in price.

I use Ryonet’s Wilflex LB lava white. It’s pretty good and not too expensive compared to fancy brands like One Stroke.

Jaquards Opaque white is a must have. Highly recommend it. They also sell an extender that you mix into the ink to slow down the dry time. Make sure you get the extender it’ll keep the ink from drying on the screen.

What are you printing? Fabric? Paper? Something else?

Ryonet Wilflex for sure. Cheap yet quality. Perfect white is a very good white ink.

FH and sons is the best value for plastisol. IMO. 130$ CAD for a 5 gallon of cotton white. Yes its not QCM 158.... but its good for mixing and thin soft hand prints. Or clients that cheap out on price. Colours are 50 CAD a gallon, cant beat that. They make it themselves and the colours are bright and opaque enough for sim process. Check them out!

speedball is my go-to. go to michael's or hobby lobby or joann's you can use a half off coupon. it's water based and so the hand is nice and soft. the plastisol stuff is less ideal to me because it has a smell and a heat setter step - both of which i dislike.
