HOW WE PRINT

PRINTING METHODS

CMYK

This printing method is a process print, meaning tiny dots of a few colors make many colors. In this case, it’s cyan, magenta, yellow and black. This method is good for photographic images on light-colored shirts that contain a good amount of cyan, magenta, yellow or black.

Pros: Fewer screens, full color 

Cons: Narrow color gamut

SPOT COLOR

This printing method uses solid areas of color. A spot print is the opposite of a process print, only solid areas of ink. Halftone dots would still be considered solid areas if they don’t blend with other colors. 

 

Pros: Easier to control color; solid, bold 

Cons: We are limited to 8 colors (7 is ideal for ease of printing)

SPOT PROCESS

Similar to CMYK, except colors are chosen that are relevant to the image. This method can use a white underbase to help make shadow areas and a top white to make bright white pop. 

 

Pros: Wide color gamut, full color, best color matching for photos 

Cons: More screens, labor intensive to create separations, and colors may require adjusting on press

INK TYPES

WATER BASED

As the name implies, this ink uses water as a base. This allows for a soft feel and less toxic cleanup. 

Pros: Soft, eco-friendly 

Cons: Prone to drying in the screen, which limits us to 3-color prints typically. Also dries up in fine detail and halftones; dry water based ink will not pass through the screen and therefore will not print

DISGHARGE

Discharge is a water based ink that is activated by a chemical powder, which allows it to bleach the cotton fibers of a garment. Not limited to white or off-white print colors (we can add color to the discharge to allow for color prints). 

 

Pros: Soft when washed, breathable for large surface area prints, bright and does not crack over time

Cons: Only effective on 100% cotton; not good for fine detail

PLASTISOL

This ink is PVC based and is easier to work with than water based. It will not cure (dry) at room temperature and instead must be heated to ~340°F for a set time. 

 

Pros: Opaque; easy to work with 

Cons: Thicker prints, which may breathe less easily and can crack over time

INK ADDITIVES

ANGEL

This makes the print softer and more flexible. Good for clients concerned with a heavy print.

PUFF

This ink puffs when heated and leaves a raised print. Not good for fine detail or large areas.

STRETCH/LOW CURE

This additive helps ink cure at a lower temperature and stretch along with a stretchy fabric.
