Title: Anyone run WB on Canvas Totes?
Post by: ZooCity on February 03, 2013, 09:52:27 PM

I still go plastisol on these because I know it's durable, no worries about penetration and who cares about a supremely soft hand on a canvas tote right?

But I would be into running WB on it.  Our standard WB colors are simply unactivated mixes of Sericol Texcharge right now with some odd quarts of matsui laying around.  I'm sure that will change as we adapt WB to more substrates, explore higher solids WB inks like the HSAs, etc. but, does anyone print standard opacity WB colors on canvas?  How's it work out, any better/worse than plastisol?

I've done some before. Typically just black ink on natural bags. they worked pretty well!

Nice.  I would think almost any wb ink to work fine for single color, I wouldn't hesitate. 

I have a 150 pc, 6 color coming up on are those super cheap Gemline totes, the stuff is almost like a canvas cheese cloth.  It would probably pass a ton of the ink through, especially going down WOW.

I like the wb on these because they typically get balled up and shoved places a lot and the wb is pretty ok with this even after A LOT of crinkling.
