Grafco is one of the leading manufacturers of screen printing inks for textile products for mass production. They specialize in more demanding and durable prints for larger series in textile manufacturing. Their inks are used by textile factories, for instance in Tunisia and other warm environments, making their inks resistant to more challenging working conditions.

In Slovenia, we stock Grafco plastisol inks in 1 kg and 5 kg packages, and we can also supply larger packages upon request. Avantex inks are known for their exceptional coverage and extremely easy use. They can be mixed according to formulas into all Pantone shades; if you need a formula, write to us.Otherwise, at Gajcom, we also offer you the ink mixing service. Plastisol inks need to be dried in a conveyor, but Grafco inks are very economical and do not require high temperatures for fixing. Precise printing and drying instructions are provided by our consultants.

Additionally, Grafco water-based inks. you must dry it in a dryer channel. Air drying is unfortunately no longer sufficient. For wash fastness, the water-based colors must be fixed at a higher temperature. Users of Newtex-One water-based colors are delighted with its coverage and ease of use. Although caution must be exercised with water-based colors compared to plastisol, since they dry in air, working with Grafco water-based colors is easy and pleasant.
