Texprint Ink Reducer & Thinner in Bangladesh — Ink Tec Distributor

Machine Specification

Why the matched reducer matters

It is easy to save money by using a generic solvent instead of the matched reducer. The result is subtle: colour shifts across a print run, faster ink settling in the tub, occasional adhesion issues on the printed fabric. All small problems until a full batch is rejected by a buyer for colour inconsistency.

Texprint Reducer is chemically matched to Texprint and Colortex inks — it thins viscosity without breaking the pigment binder chemistry, so colour stays consistent and print adhesion stays within specification. Every serious Bangladesh screen printer working under buyer contracts uses matched reducer as standard practice.

Applications

Any workshop or textile mill using Ink Tec Texprint or Colortex ink should also stock Texprint Reducer as their standard viscosity adjuster. It is bundled naturally with an ink order — reducer consumption is typically 5–15% of ink weight over a print run, depending on ambient conditions.

For factories running rotary printing lines with tight buyer colour tolerances, standardising on matched reducer removes a common source of batch-to-batch variation and reduces the number of rejected runs. It is one of the small operational choices that separates a well-run print operation from a struggling one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this reducer with other brands of screen ink?

It is chemically matched to Ink Tec Texprint and Colortex ranges. Using it with other brands may work but Ink Tec cannot warrant colour consistency or adhesion — for other ink brands, use their manufacturer’s matched reducer.

How much reducer do I add to ink?

Typical addition is 2–8% by weight, depending on how much the ink has thickened and the ambient temperature. Add in small increments (1–2% at a time) and mix thoroughly between additions. Never dilute below the manufacturer’s recommended maximum.

Is the reducer safe to handle?

Yes — Texprint reducer is water-based and low-fume, safe for workshop use with basic ventilation. Follow standard PPE (gloves, eye protection) as with any print chemical.

What container sizes are available?

Standard 1L, 5L and 25L containers for workshop and mill use. Bulk drum sizes available on order for high-volume users.

What is the shelf life?

Unopened, 24 months from manufacturing date. Once opened, use within 12 months for consistent results. Keep the container sealed between uses.

Can I order this bundled with Texprint or Colortex ink?

Yes — reducer is typically ordered alongside a fresh ink batch. Ask our sales team for a bundled quote covering ink plus matched reducer for your typical monthly consumption.
