Shadenet Ink Clear Base liquid is a UV resistant polymer coating with very flexible properties, supplied to the appropriate viscosity for screenprinting on HDPE shadenet. Shadenet Ink Clear Base is designed for extreme durability and flexibility and additives promote high adhesion properties for application to HDPE shadenet. Screenprinters can use their standard water based pigments for colouring. The product has been in use for over 5 years with not one problem. The clear base is simple to use for a screenprinter and can achieve any of the effects that can be seen on the Pictures. The Shadenet Ink Clear Base is water-based and non-toxic. 
The printing process is the same as normal screenprinting. Water-based inks are environment friendly and take a little longer than solvents. Because of its elasticity, the shadenet cannot be moved off the table during the printing process. The user can decide on the number of coats to apply to achieve the desired finish. The more the holes in the knitted fabric are covered, the better the image quality. However, in certain applications, for example the construction industry where the image is seen from a distance, an 80% net is preferred, and the less coats, the more affordable and the less wind resistance.
Screenprinters can use their own outdoor pigments and thickener as they would usually do for other screenprinting. Shadenet Ink supply with the product, guidelines and some printing tips learned over the years. It is preferable that the screenprinter has computer design skills so he can do layouts (jpg)s for customers. Screenprinters can sell to netting companies, shadenet converters (for eg shadeport suppliers) or brand and event management companies for sale to their end users.
