This choice reflects our commitment to producing high-quality prints while reducing environmental impact. Water-based inks are a safer and more sustainable option compared to plastisol inks. They use significantly fewer harmful chemicals, which makes them **gentler on the environment** and **safer for our team** to work with. At the same time, they deliver **soft, long-lasting prints** that match our standard for quality. By choosing water-based inks, we align our production process with our responsibility goals, ensuring that every **screen printed t-shirt, tote bag or hoodie** we create looks good and does good. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.theprintroom.nz/responsibility/environment/water-based-inks.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
