Standard Plastisol

This is the traditional style of printing. Inks are thicker and rougher than our standard printing, and the ink sits on top of the shirt. These inks can be printed on any garment or fabric and work best in small print areas. Plastisol inks will be used on all 50/50 tees in place of our Standard inks.

WATERBASED

Waterbased printing is very similar to discharge printing but for white and light colored shirts. The inks are dyed into the fabric. When used on dark color fabrics it gives a strong faded/vintage look. Keep in mind that when using light ink colors on dark shirts the ink colors will be tinted by the shirt color. For example white inks on a black shirt will cause the inks to be a light grey.

Waterbased inks must be washed before they take their "no feel" state.

WATERBASED DISCHARGE

Discharge printing is the process of bleaching the dye out of the shirt, leaving its natural color showing through (usually a tan color). We can also PMS match discharge ink, however results vary depending on shirt color & brand. The only major downside is that with discharge printing you must wash the shirts before they take their "no feel" state. We have been working with discharge inks for over 10 years now.

METALLIC

Metallic inks are simply plastisol inks that have glitter flakes in them.  It is mainly recommended as a second color or as an accent color in a design.  Because of the thickness of these inks we do not suggest using it for highly intricate or tiny design details.

GLOW IN THE DARK

Glow in the Dark ink is also a plastisol type ink. It is mainly recommended as an overlay to the white used in a t-shirt design.  Because of the thickness of these inks we do not suggest using Glow in the Dark for highly intricate designs, or printing them on really shear fabrics.

FOIL

Foil is a great option to really make your shirts pop! Sheets of foil are heat pressed on top of plastisol inks. We can also mix foil with standard printing but waterbase inks must be used for the other colors being used. Keep in mind that foil does not last as long as normal printing and can start to peel after only a few washes if shirts are not taken care of. To extend the life of the foil please wash these garments inside out in cold water then hang dry. We print a similar color of ink under the foil to help make the shirts last longer when they do start to peel.

ATHLETIC NAMES & NUMBERS

We offer Custom Player Names & Numbers on t-shirts, performance fabrics & all athletic apparel.  This option is great for softball, flag football, basketball, soccer & all other types of recreational teams looking for a cost effective way to customize your team wear.  We also offer custom hats to match your jerseys, both with a minimum order of 12 pieces.

PUFF

Puff inks are basically plastisol inks with a puff additive that rises up when heated during the drying process.  Puff ink work best on text or outlines in a design.  Like any SFX (special effect) ink, it is better used in moderation and as an accent in the design.  These inks can have a really unique end result when used sparingly on a shirt graphic.
