They are used in a combination or depending on the substrate. You need to understand your ink first. Very important is to have the TDS Info on hand, as your supplier’s ink could work differently.

When to use:
1) LAC ink (semi-opaque) you print on Top of an Under Base or for fine dot/lines screen printing
2) Binder (transparent ink with nobody) you will print only on White textile substrate or pale colors Shirts.
3) As Opaque White Under-Base or as White in a design.
4) Clear (with a body) to print on under-base for bright colors or on white for better wash-fastness than a transparent Binder.
If you have questions about this short water-based Inks Tutorial, please let me know.
And please note
You never print Binder on Opaque ink, as this will result in poor washing results.
