Our Love Affair With Discharge T Shirt Printing

A favorite t-shirt comes along maybe 10 times in a lifetime and everyone has a type. In our minds, a cool graphic that speaks to the wearer is good, but the softer the print the better. If you’re looking for a print process to maximize your brand’s cool quotient, look no further than a discharge print.

Discharge Ink Screen Printing Vs. Plastisol Ink Printing

Plastisol Ink Screen Printing

Plastisol ink printing results is more vibrant, but less breathable prints. The ink sits on top of the shirt. This costs less and has been the industry standard for a long, long time.

Discharge T Shirt Printing

A specialty technique at Scrappy Apparel Company that has grown in popularity. Screen printing with discharge ink produces lighter, more breathable prints that become one with the shirt’s cotton fibers.

No Ink Feel and Cool Look

Many retail brands choose to go with discharge printing ink on a comfortable shirt. Why? Screen printing with discharge ink deactivates the dye within the t-shirt and creates a no ink feel and cool look. This is a simple way to differentiate your shirt from others on the rack and justify a higher resale price point.
