Hey guys i was going to use silkscreeningsupplies.com to pre photo emulsion 3 screens for me and then am going to print the shirts myself. Now my question is, is what types of inks should i be using, i hear that water based paint as opposed to plastisol paint is better because plastisol is very thick, but does water based paint fade? and the print would be on american apparel jersey t's.

I didn't know there was water based inks for silkscreening. They must be new or something. Go for it! Plastisol gets all messy and the fumes are bad for you.

The quality of the pigment is key to fading. It has nothing to do with being water based or not. When mass producing let me tell you you will be SO happy you picked water soluble paint.
