jantex.bases

Jantex Inks makes a variety of high quality screen printing bases for different applications. We include several additives in our bases to improve runability and color fastness.

Jantex RFU Extender

Our most popular base! A soft hand print paste used as a carrier for waterbase pigments. Ideal for use on light ground cottons, 50/50 blends and terry cloth. For polyester and lycra fabrics we recommend you use RFU EXTENDER SS.

Jantex Discharge Base MT

Carrier used in a dye stripping system. Dyed grounds can be stripped of color and have new color replaced simultaneously. Formulated to hold Parolite (stripping agent) up to 15% strength. Discharge can also be used without color to achieve “tonal” looks based upon the dyed ground.

Jantex Glitter Adhesive

Jantex Glitter Adhesive MT is a more economical base that adheres glitter flakes to fabric. Not recommended for use with plastisol printing. Jantex Glitter Adhesive JT is a clearer base and allows more glitter brilliance to be shown. All fabrics and glitters should be tested for suitability of either base.

Jantex Blockout Base AB

A ready to use high opaque blockout base that provides exceptional hiding power on dark grounds.

Jantex Shiny Base

A clear extender base that leaves a “shiny” look on the garment. It can be used “as is” or add pigments for even more unique shiny looks.
