A Leader in Screen Printing Ink

Matsui International Company, Inc., which is a subsidiary of the 1911-founded Matsui Shikiso Chemical Co. Ltd., serves the textile, wallpaper, transfer and specialty markets. Offering exclusive patented products as well as a wide range of standard products, we focus on helping businesses increase product production and awareness while minimizing cost, and maximizing profits. A leader in the production and development of screen printing ink, we are located in Los Angeles, California, conveniently located for quick national and international shipping near LAX airport. We are currently in the process of developing new products in the water base ink realm, as well as more specialty inks for screen printing. One of our most recent and prevalent developments was the patented Chromicolor technology, used by Duracell and Energizer as battery power indicators.

Innovative Water Base Ink

The new 301 ECO-Series is designed specifically for today's high speed automatic presses. This water base ink is available in transparent, semi-transparent, and high opacity water soluble ink, and is free of most environmentally damaging chemicals, including:

  • PVC
  • Phthalate
  • Heavy metals
  • Azo compounds
  • Nonylphenol
  • Formaldehyde

The eco-friendly 301 series of screen printing ink offers advantages over traditional plastisol inks and work better than the types used in high volume shops that manufacture textiles. Our inks allow for the use of a wide range of mesh counts, offering intense pigment colors. The ink allows for breathability on fabric, and the ability to achieve the entire range of Pantone Colors using 13 base tones. Our patented formulations allow for faster and cleaner prints. For versatility, there are nine different extender base formulas, including clear and matte finishes and under coat binders.
