Here’s a very colorful fun print we did for Reddit. Pretty much speaks for itself, eh?

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.

Mr. Roboto strikes again!

Here’s a fun, colorful print we did for Google’s 4th of July celebration. This bright and snazzy
seven color design was printed on Red Gildan 5000 garments. A super rush job (aren’t they all)
we had this turned around  in 2 business days.

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.

Single color discharge print across the zipper

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

White Discharge print on black shirts, super soft!

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?

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.
