East Bay Screenprint Custom Shirts and Screen Printing Gallery

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

We print things for this local fishing club from time to time, and this particular shirt was for a youth sturgeon derby event they held.  6 colors with a discharge underbase, and the winning fish even stands out a bit more thanks to the smooth gradients.

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.

Here’s a great 3 color design on American Apparel Royal blue shirts.

Royal Blue shirts typically do not discharge well,
but we wanted to keep a softhand and bright
colors, so we used what’s known as a discharge
underbase. This means that under all of the top
colors is a layer of waterbased discharge ink that
removes most of the color of the fabric so that
the top colors will be bright.

Here’s a 5-color print on some American Apparel tri-blend Oatmeal tees.  These were printed as waterbase, with a very soft hand.

While this print is about a year old, it really represents the colors of that time, NEON!!!! This shirt is for the Exploratorium, which if you’re a Bay Area native, needs no further explanation.

This print is made up of two different inks. The red background is waterbased discharge, our secret mix that results in a very bright red that washes well. On top of that is black plastisol. We went with plastisol for the black as we wanted the print to have a bit of gloss to it to stand out from the ground, Gildan 5000 Charcoal shirts.

Here’s a nice 4 color plastisol print for an animation company. He literally looks like he’s jumping off the shirt!

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.
