Puff Ink
Printing with puff ink is a very popular type of special effect done on t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats. Puff ink, like it’s name implies, raises or “puffs up” when the ink is cured (dried) in the printing process. It adds a three dimensional look to your design and if done properly can be used as a low cost substitute for the look of embroidery. Not all artwork and typefaces will produce good results with puff ink. Avoid using type that has thick lines or have characters that are very close together. Thin lines in a design and “light” fonts with thin lines produce the best results with puff ink. If puff ink is used on a design that will require a heavy ink deposit, puff ink has a tendency to crack after the first few washings. If this is a drawback you're not willing to accept, you shouldn't consider Puff ink for your design.

Shimmer Ink
Shimmers are the hot new colors that combine the best features of glitters and metallics. They have a finish similar to metallics, but with a much greater sparkle, and the color range of glitters. Shimmer inks are non-tarnishing and high-opacity, with excellent elasticity and washability.

EXTRA CHARGE OF $.25 PER SHIRT OR CAP

Glitter Ink
Glitter inks contain large flakes of shiny mylar which give the print a very shiny, reflective look. Unlike metallic inks, the print will not dull upon washing and will keep its bright “glittery” appearance. Glitter inks come in a variety of colors. Because the glitter flakes are large, Glitter Ink can only be used on designs or portions of a design that are not very detailed.

EXTRA CHARGE OF $.35 PER SHIRT OR CAP

Suede Ink
Suede ink looks like the name implies: suede leather. It also “puffs” or raises somewhat, and because of the three dimensional look it offers, it can be considered for use as a lower cost substitute for embroidery. Suede ink comes in light brown, dark brown, gray, and black.

Flash Back (Reflective) Ink
Reflective ink contains millions of light reflective microspheres that when exposed to a focused beam of light, such as an automobile headlight or flashlight, reflects a bright, glittering image back at the light source. Reflective ink is perfect for night safety wear for joggers, cyclists, police, construction and highway workers--anybody who work in traffic at night. Reflective inks come in 8 colors, shown to the left. Flash Back Ink is transparent so some of the ink colors will not show up well on colored or dark garments. For black or other dark shirts, we recommend Neutral Gray as it will show up best.
