MAGNAPRINT® HB NEUTRAL BASE

Description

MagnaPrint® HB Range – Mock Discharge Ink System for Soft, High-Detail Prints

The MagnaPrint HB Range is a water-based textile printing system designed to replicate the soft feel and visual appeal of discharge printing on fabrics that cannot be discharged. This versatile range includes HB Neutral (a clear/neutral base) and HB Opaque (an opaque medium-solids base), offering excellent print quality and soft handle on cotton and cotton/polyester blends.
