Dig The Kid

Dig The Kid neonHere’s a fun colorful print we did for an SF-based band.  A trio of neon colors on white v-neck shirts (sunglasses not included).

Reddit, 8 color waterbased print

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

Be Smart, Act Dumb

ActDumbOnManny

Only two colors in this print, though still stands out thanks to the crisp artwork!

Evil Penguin Racing

Evil Penguin

This is a nice, clean print we did for some motorcycle enthusiasts.  5-color print on ol’ trusty Gildan 2000 garments, and yes, we avoided getting on the bad
side of this particular penguin!

Filter

FilterOnManny

Three color (there’s a white underbase under all of that) print for the band Filter.

Mr. Roboto – Waterbased/Discharge Shop Shirts

robotoBlam! 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.

AdRoll Dragon Tees

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

Sin City Sinners

SCSfrontOnMannyOne of the prints we did for the band Sin City Sinners, this guy is 4 colors including a trusty underbase to keep the colors bright on the dark shirts.

Huey Lewis 30th Anniversary

HueyLewis30thPlastisol 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…

Metallica – Red Logo

METredMetallica!  There’s an underbase in there to make sure the bright red stays bright;  sometimes simple goes a long way.

TellApart – Bling Chain

TellApartBlingChain

TellApartMedallionCloseupThis print was a bit more complicated than usual.  In addition to the gold foil used for the medallion, the leaves in the center are made up of about fifty rhinestones for additional shine.  Another interesting challenge was ensuring the placement of the print so that it would appear like a necklace, even going all the way up to the shoulders.  Needless to say our client (and us of course) were very happy with how these turned out!

Endless Cycles

EndlessCyclesMapThis design is a recreation of a map pinpointing the location of a local bicycle shop.  Not only does the fine detail make for a great-looking print, it also ensures an easy time finding Endless Cycle’s address!

Google – Farm to Fourth

FarmToFourth20131

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.

JuniorRangerOnManny

Five color design on Orange Gildan 5000 shirts, this one for the US Forestry Department and East Bay Regional Park District.

ADVNC Lacrosse – Royal shirts

AdvncRoyal

3 colors, plus an underbase to keep the red and yellow inks nice and bright.  These were run plastisol, as royal is on the list of garment colors that don’t react well with discharge printing.

Aquatech Swim School

aquatech

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.

Montclair Metrathon

montclair

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.

East Bay Tank Printing

EBtankFive color waterbased discharge designed and printed in house. Going for a 1920’s propaganda feel, the tank literally pops off the garment. It’s awesome.

ADVNC Lacrosse – Lake Tahoe

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

Marley’s Coffee – Tanks

MarleysCoffeeTankA 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.

Cake – Anti Air Travel

CakeEyeThree color plastisol, again due to tri-blend fabric. We’ve got some tricks to keep that fuzz down though.

Rita Hosking – Burn

RitaHoskingLittle three color discharge from the archives. Dig it.

Custom Thermal Shirts

EBthermalAnother design we printed for ourselves, this design came out very nice and clean.  Not always an easy feat on thermal garments! For this we used straight discharge base on Royal Apparel %100 cotton thermals. This allows us to get down into the waffling of the fabric and still maintain a soft breathable print. See if you can find the typo…

Blyss

BlyssThis three color print came out great, and thanks to the underbase the “jungle” appears even more vibrant!

Exploratorium – Geometry Playground

exploratoriumWhile 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.

Goblinz Clothing Line

goblinzThis 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.

Genesis 2011 – Waterbased/plastisol combo

genesisThis 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.

Op Six – Oversized Discharge print, off the edge of the shirt

opsixThis 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.

Shop Bullys

Oversize over the seam and off the bottom of the shirt printing

Oversize over the seam and off the bottom of the shirt printing

All over and off the bottom of the shirt with a single color makes for an interesting
and inexpensive print.

DNN Corp.

DNN CorpHere’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.

Game Attain Shirts

Four color print for Game Attain

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.

Custom Foil Screen Printing on Shirts

Custom Foil Screen Printing on Shirts

Custom Foil Screen Printing on Shirts

Here is an example of our foil work. Foil is an interesting embellishment method that can be used to add a special effect to printed shirts. There are limitations to the process however, and most garments should be hand washed if possible. Foil comes in a wide variety of colors and can be used with other effects for  nearly limitless combinations. Contact us with your ideas for for a quote today.

East Oakland Boxing Association

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.
