"Since non-phthalate ink is generally not commonly used, and takes special handling and care, you may want to only use it when absolutely necessary" Not if that is the only type you use. It requires no extra care or handling unless you are complicating your operation by also having inks with banned phtalates in them. We use only phtalate free inks on every job. Not because we have to but because it is the right thing to do by providing your customers with the safest product you can. Lets say you print some adult shirts and use non-phtalate free inks. A lady wears one of those shirts while feeding her 18 month old baby. You have just unknowingly violated the law by not labeling the shirt to warn adults that pregnant women or women caring for children under 3 should not wear the shirt. I know you think this is just BS but a lawyer will tear you up in court over just that type of scenario. Believe me it is easier to just move to 100% phtalate free inks and pay the few cents extra for them then it is to try and complicate production and risk of cross contamination. ____________________ SPOF - A forum for the Screen Printing and Embroidery Industry | |
