Fun project ideas using eco-friendly screen printing inks and scenic paints
Whether you’re looking to branch out with home screen printing or to expand your product line with block printed or hand painted fabrics, there’s a whole world of design inspiration out there just waiting to be found. We’ve rounded up some of the best design ideas that we’ve seen in recent months and highlight some incredibly talented creators who do amazing things with environmentally friendly screen printing inks and scenic paints.
How to block print using PERMASET Inks
If you’ve wondered if PERMASET Inks can be used for more than screen printing, the great news is that yes, PERMASET Inks are successfully used for block printing by many designers. Read the following technical tips about how to make block printed patterns using PERMASET Inks and create your own designs.
Screen printed textiles for home
Time spent at home provides a great incentive to transform our living spaces. One of our favourite ideas is sprucing up lounge rooms, bedrooms and kitchens with vibrant screen printed curtains, pillowcases and tea towels. When you print on swathes of fabric, it’s important to choose the right screen print ink; PERMASET AQUA prints beautifully on light coloured fabrics, while PERMASET SUPERCOVER inks give a vivid result on dark coloured fabrics.

3D puff prints on hoodies and shirts
If you want to take your screen printing to, quite literally, a new level, then why not have some fun experimenting with PERMASET Puff Paste? PERMASET Puff Paste is an additive that can be used with any of the PERMASET Standard or SUPERCOVER Inks or PERMASET Pigment Concentrates. PERMASET Puff prints initially dry flat but, when heated as per the instructions, the expanding agent puffs up and adds a matte 3D effect – you can even use your oven at home to do this.

Big bold mural art
Looking to beautify your surroundings at home? Why not add some ultra-vivid colour with bold wall art? You can create your own bright abstract painting or wall mural using PERMACRYLIK scenic paints, adding the Glow colours to make your piece really pop.
Fresh blending styles
We love these tri-colour prints by Makani Apparel. If you’re looking to give new life to a classic design, then try a blend print with two or three colours on your screen. Check out our video showing the process of how to print a blend to get started with blended screen printing or ‘split fountain prints’.
