Description
Daler-Rowney Textile Screen Printing Medium – 8oz / 250ml
Create long-lasting, vibrant fabric prints with Daler-Rowney’s Textile Screen Printing Medium, a professional-grade additive designed to transform System 3 Acrylic Colours into high-performance textile inks. Developed with precision and practicality in mind, this medium ensures your colours stay bright, flexible, and wash-resistant without compromising print quality.
Transform Acrylics into Fabric Inks
Simply mix one part Textile Printing Medium with one part System 3 Colour (1:1 ratio) to produce a smooth, even printing consistency that stays open on the screen for longer. This prevents premature drying and clogging, allowing for consistent application and crisp, detailed prints across multiple pulls.
Outstanding Durability
When properly heat-fixed, the printed fabric achieves excellent colourfastness for over 20 washes, ensuring your designs remain bold and intact. The medium’s polymer formulation bonds the pigment securely to the fabric fibres, producing a flexible finish that resists cracking and fading, even after repeated use and laundering.
Superior Printability
Daler-Rowney’s formulation provides an ideal balance of open time, viscosity, and definition, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced screen printers. It’s perfect for detailed textile designs, logos, and artistic prints on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and blends.
