DINO 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.

Flux Coffee – opaque waterbased white

Super soft waterbased white

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 waterbase discharge print for Bay Area musician Mick Shaffer for his CD release a few years back. Fresh from the wayback machine!
You may have noticed that we talk about and display waterbased and discharge printing a lot, there’s a reason for this; in many cases it is far
superior to the “standard” plastisol inks used by many printers. We’d like to think that it should be the other way around. Waterbased prints
are softer, brighter, won’t crack or chip, and best of all they breathe! After washing a shirt printed with waterbase/discharge ink you won’t be able
to feel the print at all. What’s not to like about that?
