Print & Ink Details

THIS IS NEXT ON MY LIST FOR WEBSITE UPDATES.

This page will soon have the answer to anything and everything regarding
Inks, Printing Style, Colors, etc, etc...

But for now I'll give a couple quick answers to the most asked questions:

Get a lot of folks asking "Why do you use Light Gray ink?"
Well, it's actually more of an "off white" really.

I always HATED getting a new shirt that has a thick, blinding white,
xerox copy looking print on it.

Face it, our music is not bright and cheery.
The clothes we wear is a direct representation of the bands we listen to
and our lifestyles in general.

Someone 2 miles away
does not need to be blinded by the "DOOM" on my chest.

Off white (light gray) dulls it down just enough while enabling me to keep as much
detail in the design as possible.

(But if bright white is what you want, I'll point you to a couple good places to get 'em)

"NORMAL PRINT" vs. "THIN PRINT"

Normal Print- is a semi-gloss (like normal shirts you buy).
But I do need to add that I have spent the past 7 some odd years perfecting an ink mix
that brings you a sharp, clear print without feeling like your chest is bullet proof.

Thin Print- is just that. A nice thin layer of ink with all the detail intact.
The ink I use for this will give you a feel that is pretty close to waterbased or discharge inks.
Waterbased inks wash out. The ink I use is oil-based plastisol that will not wash out.
Discharge inks are actually a bleaching agent that will leave a yellowish tint to the design
and is a PAIN IN THE ASS to work with.

What you get with the "Thin Print" option is pretty damn close to the feel of an old 80's Heavy Metal shirt.
It'll soften a bit more when washed, but will not wash out.
