Earlier this week we spoke with another local screenprinter who is going to be doing the all of our prints from now on. The upside of this is that we can now print a higher number of colours and all using waterbased inks! (That means you’ll get a design which feels much softer). This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while now but finding good local printers who would try it has been quite difficult.
Currently we going to set this to a maximum of 6 colours, though we’re actually capable of going higher. This means that our submission rules have changed accordingly with immediate effect!
That sounds really cool Ian!
Hey, that sounds all good! Could be an unique selling point (what a yucky word) too, those big slabs of plastisol are being disliked by many, so the softness of bigger shapes means certain design opportunities arise. I totally like that idea!
How do the water based colours do on opaqueness, like waterbased whites do well on darker tees? Im tempted now to make a new design for the contest with bigger shapes. Maybe an idea to do simpler 2 or maximum 3 colour one.
Well, from what I hear from other printers it is a more difficult process yes, and lighter tees seem to bring out colours better. Our printer (whom I completely trust) seems to think that they’ll be able to produce nearly anything as well as plastisol though and they’re currently experimenting to get the right mix from the inks they need. It’s really exciting stuff. This time around I may even do a short video about the process or something....
You can be assured that if the first few don’t look fantastic then we’ll go back and try and get the process to work so they do. We’re not going to be selling anything that either the designer or we are completely happy with!
that sounds great.
I also don’t like wearing those tough plastisol slabs.
so, is it safe to design something with, say, white inks on navy shirt, then?
Yup. We’ll make it work whatever the colours!
