FOIL EFFECTS
Super shiny metallic film that is heat applied to a design after printing. Gives a bright, highly reflective surface appearance.
JEWEL GLITTER
Large glitter flake particles that are integrated directly into the ink. Adds a high impact dazzle effect & sparkly appearance to designs.
SUGAR GLITTER
Fine clear glitter particles that are sprinkled on top of the print. Gives a very sparkly, sugar-dusted look to part of or the entire design.
CRYSTALINA
A clear gel mixed in together with multi-color sparkle flake. Printed over parts of or the full design to create a subtle highlight or shimmer effect.
NEON INKS
Fluorescent inks that will react brightly underneath a blacklight. Adds a pop of intensity & fun to any design for both kids or adults.
METALLIC INKS
Plastisol ink containing tiny metallic flakes. Creates an eye catching, shimmery finish when fully printed. Available in metallic gold’s & silver’s.
GLOW-IN-DARK
Creates an intense, phosphorescent, glow in the dark effect. After charging in light this ink will glow back a soft green color in the darkness.
REFLECTIVE INKS
Heat transfer material that brightly reflects vehicle headlights. Ideal for emergency workers, crews or anyone looking for hi-visibility apparel.
SCENTED INKS
Scented additive that’s mixed directly into ink. Available in almost any scent from chocolate to bacon.
DISCHARGE INKS
Water based process that removes the dye of the shirt & replaces it with a color. Soft & good for printing over seams. Must be 100% cotton.
FASHION SOFT
Ink thinning additive that creates a subdued, softer print on garments. Lightweight & great for vintage style prints or designs on heather apparel.
PUFF INKS
An additive that causes ink to rise up. Gives a raised, foamy and puffy feel when heat cured. Fantastic way to produce eye-catching 3D texture.
FAUX DENIM
Printing method that combines high density ink with additives to achieve the texture & illusion of simulated denim sewn onto a shirt.
FELT APPLIQUE
Heat transferred applique that creates a fuzzy, soft and distressed texture to the surface area. Looks best when paired with embroidery.
GLAM APPLIQUE
Heat applied applique that creates a unique sparkly look to the surface of apparel. Comes in a variety of colors and is best paired with embroidery.
ROCK PRINT
Printing method that combines high density ink with additives to create the unique texture & appearance of cracked stone onto garments.
