Product Overview:

WB-PEN Penetrant is an additive that promotes ink flow in water base inks. WB-PEN allows the water base ink to penetrate deeper into the fabric you are printing on. While the printer will use WB-PEN primarily on thicker fabrics, it can be used on all fabric types to promote a much softer feel. When added at the proper ratio, your finished ink will have improved printability, reduced grinning/wicking (ink spread) and improved ink penetration on difficult substrates like terry cloth (bath robes), towels, and other thick fabrics.
