Special Techniques

Looking for some creative ways to set your client’s brands apart and add impact to any design? Our Special Effect screen printing processes do just that. Take a typical design and give it that retail edge by adding one of our special effect printing techniques.

Foil

Add eye-catching shine and a premium feel to your designs with metallic foil screen printing. This specialty technique uses heat and pressure to bond metallic foil to fabric, creating bold, reflective finishes in gold, silver, copper, and more. Perfect for logos, lettering, or accent details, metallic foil elevates any garment with a high-end, fashion-forward look. Whether you’re aiming for luxury or standout streetwear, metallic foil brings your designs to life with unbeatable brilliance and texture.

Puff Ink

Give your designs a bold, dimensional look with puff ink — a specialty screen printing technique that expands when cured, creating a raised, textured effect. Perfect for adding depth to logos and graphics puff ink delivers a unique, tactile finish that stands out both visually and physically. Ideal for streetwear, fashion brands, and creative merch, it’s an eye-catching way to elevate your apparel with added style and personality.

Color Discharge

Achieve ultra-soft, vintage-style prints with color discharge screen printing — a process that removes the shirt’s original dye and replaces it with custom ink. Unlike traditional printing, discharge inks bond directly to the fabric, leaving a smooth, lightweight feel with vibrant results. Perfect for 100% cotton garments, this technique is ideal for bold designs that don’t compromise comfort. Get that worn-in look with rich color and zero heavy ink layers — just soft, breathable prints that last.

Waterbase

For a super-soft, eco-friendly print that feels as good as it looks, waterbase inks are the go-to choice. These inks soak into the fabric instead of sitting on top, resulting in a smooth, breathable finish with a no-feel touch. Ideal for lightweight garments, waterbase printing delivers vibrant, long-lasting color with a smooth feel. Perfect for fashion-forward brands and sustainable collections, waterbase inks offer a clean, modern print with a conscience.
