decent inks for cheap price???

Post by mstngsal67 »

i decided to try screen printing because i have a lot of little t-shirt projects for my niece and nephew and am too cheap to pay $20 for each shirt - - but, i didn't realize that there were so many choices for inks!! i figured out the whole screen process with the emulsion. but my first print last night was with inks i purchased at joann fabric - which are water based inks. they are very flat - not at all shiny. is there anything i can do to MAKE them shiny? or do i need to switch to using plastisol inks (as i now see seem to be more common now that i am reading up on it)??
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

If you switch to plastisol how are you going to cure it?
