Can you print over seams, pockets or zippers?

Thursday, 12 May 2016 by Red Eye
To get the best quality print when screen printing, we need as flat of a surface as possible between the pallet (that the garment lays on) and the screen (that holds your design). The fronts and backs of t-shirts are consistently smooth and the same thickness, which allows us to get a perfect print every

Do you print on ribbed garments?

Thursday, 12 May 2016 by Red Eye
Ribbed garments provide the best form fit of all blank shirts as they stretch to meet the size of the individual wearing them. This is great the for final consumer but makes printing on them a challenge. When you pull a ribbed garment onto the press, it is not stretched out, so the ink only

Thursday, 12 May 2016 by Red Eye
Not every color garment discharges well. We did some testing to find out what colors worked and what colors didn’t when using discharge inks.

What is waterbase printing?

Thursday, 12 May 2016 by Red Eye
Waterbase 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

What is discharge Printing?

Thursday, 12 May 2016 by Red Eye
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
