FAQs
What happens to a temporary print in case of rain or sweat?
Our temporary screen printing ink is water-soluble, which means that it loses its adhesion as soon as the fabric becomes thoroughly wet, whether from heavy rain or intense perspiration. However, the prints will withstand a light summer shower or a classic company run.
Is reversible screen printing ink harmful to the environment when washed out?
No – the materials used in RE-SHIRT have no harmful effects on aquatic organisms and are considered NON-polluting. The screen printing paste is water-based and is produced almost exclusively from plant-based and mineral raw materials.
In what sizes are RE-SHIRTS available?
We offer RE-SHIRTS from XXS to 4XL in various cuts (women’s, unisex, loose fit) and designs (short-sleeved and long-sleeved). You can find all the different versions at www.purewaste.com.
Can I also have other products printed with RE-SHIRT ink?
Yes – we print on every Pure Waste garment! It may sound like it, but RE-SHIRTS are not necessarily just T-shirts. They can also be hoodies, long-sleeved tops, sweatshirts, sweatpants or fabric bags! The entire Pure Waste product range is available for you to customise. We do not print on textiles from other manufacturers at this time.
Are RE-SHIRTS produced in an environmentally friendly way?
Absolutely! All Pure Waste textiles are made from 100% recycled fibres, are high quality and very durable! They consist of 60% recycled cotton and 40% recycled polyester. Compared to conventional T-shirts, this saves 1,400 litres of water and 50% of CO2 emissions! Printing takes place in Helsinki, Finland.
Can I buy RE-SHIRT as a private individual?
Unfortunately, no. We only supply companies with a minimum order quantity of 50 T-shirts (or other Pure Waste products).
What is the minimum quantity (MOQ) for RE-SHIRTS?
We use a high-quality screen printing process that is particularly suitable for serial production. Our minimum quantity is not set in stone, but is around 50 pieces. It also depends a little on the complexity of the print. So feel free to write to us, even if you need fewer pieces.
Can permanent and reversible printing be combined?
Yes, of course. That works without any problems. For example, we can apply your company logo using conventional printing techniques (screen printing or DTF) and also apply a washable screen print. Overprinting a permanent print with a washable print also creates great ‘wow effects’. After washing, the permanent design previously overprinted with MagiInk appears. We would be happy to develop the right solution for you!
What colours can my RE-SHIRT be printed in?
RE-SHIRT screen printing ink is white as standard. Conventional, water-based pigments can be mixed in. However, adding pigments does not result in highly opaque colours.
Can I purchase the MAGIC INK screen printing paste?
Yes, you can! We are working hard to commercialise MAGIC INK. We want to make it available for anybody! The water-based screen printing ink can be used with your standard equipment without any problems. We are currently planning to launch the product in Q4/2026. Get in touch with us if you are interested in finishing your own RE-SHIRT products in the future!
