Discharge Ink Printing
Aug 07
Below is a video of the discharge printing process – as the t-shirt passes through the dryer the heat activates the discharge agent and it works like a bleach returning the t-shirt to its natural cotton color. It can also be mixed with pigment dyes to achieve other colors.
After a wash the t-shirt print leaves a vintage looking and feeling print with no hand feel at all as opposed to standard plastisol ink which has a thicker feel.
