screenprinting - recommended inks

Water-based inks for a kind of vintage/textureless feel. This will also fade with time and is relatively soft to the touch....or, plastersol ink is a lot thinker, a lot more of a truer print and when you run your hand over it you can definitely feel a texture to it.

Both work fantastic, but I prefer water-based as it's softer to the touch and fades over time.

thanks. so far i've tried water based inks and i've seen the 'vintage' feel you're talking about. I was wondering why it was coming out that way and not thick.
