Hello,
I am new to screen printing and was wondering if someone could tell me the type of ink I would need inorder to print onto PVC. If you could also recommend a product that would be great.
Thank you for your time,
Dylan Bidwell

PVC what?
Koma-tex?
Koma-cel?
Sintra?
Vinyl note books?
Some have to be done with vinyl ink.
Some can be done with Nazdar 9700.
(My personal preference.)

PVC plastic card (like a credit card).
Thanks again.

Probably have to go with a vinyl.
Check the Nazdar ink application table
and then call the ink mfg. to be sure.
A lot of that stuff is printed with UV.
This is the
Nazdar Substrate Chart
I hope this helps and good luck.
Vinyl can take some getting used to.
Make good and sure about your ventilation.

might want to try a general purpose ink, they work on a wide selection of plastics including vinyl. If you get vinyl only you cant; print styrene, acrylic, etc
get retarder paste/microprint gel or wahtever they call it to go with your ink and retarder thinner - this is the secret of easy printing with solvent based ink
