Here’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).
 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.

Three color (there’s a white underbase under all of that) print for the band Filter.
Six color waterbased discharge print for the man himself.
Stump This! Two greys, two whites, and a bone color. Done son.
One 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.
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…
Metallica! There’s an underbase in there to make sure the bright red stays bright; sometimes simple goes a long way.
More Huey Lewis! This fella’s a 3-color print plus a discharge underbase.
We’ve printed shirts for the Celtic rock band Tempest for years, and for this run they wanted something a bit more eye-catching. We printed this design in gold shimmer, and added a drop-shadow effect as well. The shirts turned out amazing, making their 25th anniversary tour that much more special!
Another print for the band Cake, this guys is two colors plus an underbase to make sure that “moon” shines!
 3 color plastisol print
Sometimes plastisol makes sense. While discharge and waterbased printing has been around for a long
long time, it has only recently become increasingly popular for custom t-shirt printing. Early metal
shirts were certainly not discharged, and many a hesher would be terribly disappointed with anything
less than a full front shield of bright plastisol. So why make hesher’s sad?
We don’t. We love discharge, but it’s only a tool in the box. Plastisol still has it’s purpose.
 Single color discharge print across the zipper
Here’s a single color discharge print across the zipper for the Fillmore. Pretty neat!

Here’s a 4 color discharge print, this one of a large and colorful tour tee for the band Railroad Earth.
 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!
Winger 25th Anniversary print. Plastisol on this guy, as there were American Apparel tri-blend shirts up in the mix. 6 colors, in house seps ya’ll.
Three color plastisol, again due to tri-blend fabric. We’ve got some tricks to keep that fuzz down though.
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!
 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?
This three color print came out great, and thanks to the underbase the “jungle” appears even more vibrant!
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.
 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.
 Maya Over eyes
This here is an awesome 4 color print for the band Maya Over Eyes from San Jose. This was printed using the simulated process method, which uses the blending of specific base colors to create the effect of many more colors and shades. This is a popular screenprinting method with bands that want to print their often photographic type album covers on dark shirts. Of course the print would not be as great if it weren’t for the incredible artwork to begin with.
 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.
