Awesome 4 color super soft owl shirt

Here’s a 4 color discharge print for the band Railroad Earth. Art and subject is awesome, and we
nailed the reproduction if I do say so myself. Super soft printing on super soft Alternative Apparel garments.

Blam! Simple 3 color print showing off our waterbased and discharge screen printing.  You literally can’t feel the ink on the fabric it’s so soft.  Sun 30500 muted colors are our favorite.

Straightforward 2-color discharge print we did for an advertising company, complete with a flame-breathing dragon!

Miso Shirts

We love it when clients bring us food ideas to print. Especially when it’s a food we love.  And we really, really like it when they bring a sample of the food with them!

This  print was for the Japanese External Organization of San Francisco, promoting, you guessed it, Miso. They used our lighter weight shirts, as this was for marketing, and not workwear.  It’s a great example of a good looking single color screenprint, using design and typography to create interest as opposed to multiple colors.

Plastisol for the athletic look on this dude. As much as we love discharge inks, sometimes, they just don’t fit the art. Don’t need a credit card to ride this train…

Super soft custom dinosaur shirts

One color discharge, super soft, so awesome. I mean,
really, check it out. You’ve got a t-rex, you’ve got the
state of Montana, you’ve got the colors of the state of
Montana and you’ve got a super soft print that can’t
be felt. If this was to be executed with plastisol you’d
have a big shield of sweaty plastic slowing you down
getting eaten by a t-rex. Sorry about your plastisol luck.

Designed by the totally rad “Dino” Danny Anduza.

Another print for the band Cake, this guys is two colors plus an underbase to make sure that “moon” shines!

Super soft waterbased white

As much as we are always talking about the benefits of waterbased and discharge printing, they do have
some limitations. One of those is that certain colored fabrics do not react with discharge inks and will
not print properly. Royal blue is one of those colors, and if we were to print this shirt with standard
discharge white, the end result would be a powder blue print. HIGH SOLID ACRYLICS TO THE RESCUE!

Pictured above is our new super opaque white waterbased ink. This is not a discharge product, and
will sit on top of the fabric as opposed to in it. It does have more hand than a discharge print, but
the feel is super smooth and soft compared to plastisol. It’s really neat stuff and we are one of only
a handful of shops offering it.

This print was a perfect candidate, Berkeley based Flux Coffee ordered several different colored shirts
for their order and one of them was Royal, so we discharged the rest and used our opaque waterbased
white for the royal. Result – perfection. (Good art always helps there too!)

Here’s a 4 color waterbased print on light shirts
that we did for the Montclair Elementary Metrathon.

We used Port and Company Organic cotton shirts,
and waterbased inks. Not only do these shirts have
a very nice feel, this is arguably the most
environmentally friendly way to screen print
t-shirts.

Of course, great artwork always helps as well.

2012 SF Giants World Series Champions Tee

Hey, remember when this happened? We sure do! For most folks it meant an exciting home team win.
For us it meant that plus printing from the second they won the game until early the following morning,
non-stop. Hot market they call it, and it’s a whole new ball game. Lowish meshes and plastisol inks for
exact color matches and the fastest printing possible. We can run at 2000 pieces an hour under the right
conditions. Luckily we don’t have to do that often. If you are from the bay Area and own one of these
shirts chances are good it passed through our shop. Quickly.

Go Giants!

Single color discharge print across the zipper

Here’s a single color discharge print across the zipper for the Fillmore. Pretty neat!

3 color discharge printing for Fear Fest

It’s all right there. This is a 3 color halftoned discharge print for the Bay Area Fear FestEvil.
Not a whole lot to say except look at that red! Ridiculously bright! That’s how we roll!

A nice little print we did on some tanks for a local coffee shop, those that frequent the Farmer’s Market may have even seen these in person.

Here’s a three color distressed print we did for a Winger reunion promotion, complete with a weathered/vintage feel, waterbased
discharge inks on Sun Apparel garments. Yeah buddy!

Waterbased discharge again here. 5 colors made this project feasible, whereas with plastisol the color count would have made the project not cost effective.

This is a 2 color print for a local clothing line. We used plastisol for this print as it was going on a bunch of different colored shirts, some of them non-dischargeable.

This here is an oversized white discharge print for Op Six clothing company that extends over the bottom seam and off the edge of the shirt.

Yet another oversized waterbase/discharge
(noticing a trend?) print for an MMA clothing
line.  Simple 2 color on Alstyle/AAA shirts.

Here’s a neat three color waterbased design we printed recently. We really like waterbased inks as the end result is super vibrant and soft. The ink
actually becomes a part of the fabric, and once the garment is washed it can’t be felt.

Four color print for Game Attain

East Bay Screenprinting recently printed these shirts for Game Attain. This particular print is a good example of halftoning used for gradient and fade effects in screen printing. This is an area that other printers often struggle with, but we’ve got it down. On this particular screen print, we used a 355 mesh screen that allows for very fine detail to be held. 65 Lines Per Inch means that even up close, the individual halftone dots can be hard to see.

East Oakland Boxing Association

We printed these shirts for the East Oakland Boxing Association.  A simple clean white print on Black and Kelly Gildan 2000 shirts. The bottom text is reversed out and smaller than 10 point, and we held the detail just fine.

Printed Safety Vests

We recently screen printed these safety vests for a company that does contract work for Comcast Cable out of the South Bay, near San Jose . They went with a 2 color logo on our  green Economy Safety Vests.
