Water-Based Inks

Water-based inks are at the heart of our eco-friendly printing process. Unlike traditional solvent-based inks, water-based inks are free from harmful chemicals, making them safer for the environment and for people. They offer a soft feel, vibrant colours, and excellent durability without releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. Perfect for clothing, posters, and paper goods, water-based inks provide a sustainable alternative without compromising on quality.

Screen printing is a classic, high-quality method and now it can be sustainable too.

Biodegradable heat transfers are a smart choice for businesses and individuals looking to promote their brand sustainably. These transfers are made from compostable or biodegradable materials and eco-friendly adhesives, providing a greener option for decorating t-shirts, bags, and other apparel. They look sharp, offer excellent wear resistance, and break down naturally at the end of their life cycle. At Print Shop London, we specialise in applying biodegradable heat transfers that maintain vibrant detail while being kind to the environment.

These fabrics use fewer pesticides, less water, and have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional materials. Whether you’re printing t shirts, tote bags, or uniforms, our sustainable fabric options ensure that your brand message aligns with your eco-values.
