Transparent Discharge
Our Transparent Discharge printing process allows for the soft subtle images retailers prefer. This process involves removing the dye of the garment and letting the natural cotton color show through. No two shirts are exactly alike; there are soft tonal variations that make it look like the design was dyed into the fabric. Results will vary with every shirt and there is not ability to control the image area color outcome. Blended garments will result in very different looks than 100% cotton garments, a pre-production proof is suggested with this process
