Glow in the Dark t-shirts are great ideas for evening events. It's specially effective in dimmed condition, such as night club promotions, lectures, concerts and theatrical presentations. Glow in the Dark imprints work well on white background. So as long as your designs provide a white background to the area you want to apply Glow in the Dark imprint, you can use any colored t-shirts you want. You can use Glow in the Dark as a tool to highlight, or to send a hidden message (see below for example). All prints shown below were done in silk screen printing. Color separations were either manually done in channels or by Simulated Process. Production were done with M&R automatic 14-color press.

Color changing technology by PhotoChromic inks


An example for effective color changing t-shirt design is shown above. Simple outline in black or dark color when it's indoor, full color when exposed to sun light. This will maximize the visual impact and hopefully leave your audience a long lasting impression.

Color changing technology by PhotoChromic inks has been around the custom screen print and advertising industries for over a decade. The reason that this technology is still very popular among advertisers in custom screen print industry is the magical transformation of colors. This series of PhotoChromic colors come in basic colors such as red, blue, yellow, green and purple. When these colors are indoor and not exposed to ultraviolet light, they are almost colorless. However, when they are exposed to ultraviolet light (including sunlight) they will gradually turn into their own colors. The stronger light and longer expose duration, the higher the intensity of the colors. And of course there are limits as everything else, the colors will not increase their intensity after they reach their limits. PhotoChromic inks work the best with white t-shirts. However they also work with light color t-shirts such as natural. You would also want to take advantage of the magical color change by screen printing only a black and white image for the indoor image and leaves all the colors as PhotoChromic colors so they will only appear outdoor. In this way you optimize the color transformation between a black and white image and a full color image. We recommend PhotoChromic’s color changing technology for all outdoor events on t-shirts, sweatshirts and sportshirts. Imagine when your guests witness the magical color change. For sure that’s going to leave a long impression to them.

High Density Gel






Do you know that you can add a layer of gel on top of your screen print decoration? The result is amazing! You will have a layer of 3-D looking coating on top of your custom t-shirt logo. This effect works specially well with line art and outlines since lines would enhance the quality of 3-D effect. This effect is called High Density Gel. It’s similar to other High Density ink printings that print 3-D effects as well. However try to avoid application over a broad area, you may find the center area of the application depressed or lack of 3-D quality. Custom screen print your logo with High Density Gel will definitely be something people are going to talk about. So if you want to make your next custom T-shirt project an eye-catcher.

Discharge Printing



Discharge technique works very well with vintage looking designs because of the natural look and soft hand feel. It also works better with dark color t-shirts since the dark color t-shirts will set a stronger color contrast with the natural canvas color. The discharge technique can be applied with water base pigment. Therefore discharge printing in color can be achieved. It still gives you all the advantages including vintage look and soft hand feel. The only drawback is the difficulty in achieving accurate color matching.

Dragon screen print t-shirts




During the past ten years of screen printing business, I was fortunate enough to work with many talented t-shirt graphic designers. Many of them were highly specialized in their fields. Even though specialization doesn't always benefit them in our dynamic clothing business, they really master what they devoted themselves over time. Among many designs, dragons are always my favorite. Below are some samples of what we have done in the past. All prints were done in silk screen printing. Color separations were either manually done in channels or by Simulated Process. Production were done with M&R automatic 14-color press.
