Most commercial screen printers print on clothing using plastisol inks, which are easy to use and long lasting. However, plastisol inks contain PVC and phthalates that are harmful to the environment and have been linked to numerous medical disorders. Plastisol inks also require the use of harmful solvents in the cleaning process. Water based inks do not contain PVC or phthalates and you don't need solvents to clean the screens down after they've been used - you can simply clean them with warm water.

Water based inks do not contain ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFC's and HCFC's, aromatic hydrocarbons or any volatile solvents. They don't contain lead or any heavy metals. In fact, the water based inks used by boobosh® do not contain any toxic chemicals at all! Not even white spirits like many of the water based inks that are on the market. They've passed the Oekotex Class 1 standard (with 60% to spare!) and are safe to use on children and baby clothes.

What's it all about?

This boobosh® thing?

All a touch curious me thinks...

I'm afraid this blog is currently in development, but we'd like you to think of it as our online sketchbook.

We will post our inspiration and design development. Everything and anything that tickles our fancy to be honest with you.

Please come back soon and more about boobosh® will be revealed.

Many thanks,
