Koi screen print t-shirts

How many favorite colors do you have? At least three if you are a koi fan. Red, black and white are the three basic yet the most important colors in nishikigoi. The three most popular koi types, Kohaku, Sanke and Showa are perfect examples. Kohaku (red pattern on white ground), Sanke (red & black spot pattern on white ground) and Showa (red and black stripe pattern on white ground or red and white pattern on black ground) together are so called Gosanke. Value in a koi depends on it's body conformation, color completion and pattern. Because of my hobby in koi keeping, I was able to work with some local reputable koi dealers on their custom company t-shirts. Below are some samples of them. 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.

Discharge Printing

Discharge in screen printing technique means removing the pigment from fabric through the printing of discharge ink. Discharge ink is a mixture of water-based-color base and discharge agent. Once a dischargeable fabric is printed with discharge ink and pass through a heat dryer, discharge agent in the discharge ink will be activated by the heat and either reduce or discharge the color pigment in the fabric. Therefore the printed area becomes so-called naked (without being covered by color pigment). The resulting color of the printed area is usually in canvas color, which is the natural color of the fabric before it was dyed into different colors. The hand feel is very soft since it’s not an additive process.

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.

Color changing technology by PhotoChromic inks

Photochromic inks come in basic colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, purple and charcoal. Since the intensity of the color has to do with the intensity of sun light at the time, it can be tricky if you want to show color gradient in photochromic colors. We normally advise solid area application of photochromic color instead of gradient (halftone).

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.
