What would look the best on black t-shirts?  How about rock bands, race cars or even wizards and medieval knights?  A lot of designs can look good on black t-shirts, but there is some magic between skull designs and black t-shirt that makes them the perfect match.  Don't agree with me?  Take a look at the following samples and see if they change your mind.   All prints were done in silk screen printing.  Color separations were either manually done in channels or by Simulated Process.

During the past ten years of screen printing business, I was fortunate enough to work with many talented t-shirt graphic designers.  Many of them were highly specialized in their fields.  Even though specialization doesn't always benefit them in our dynamic clothing business,  they really master what they devoted themselves over time.  Among many designs, dragons are always my favorite.  Below are some samples of what we have done in the past.  All prints were done in silk screen printing.  Color separations were either manually done in channels or by Simulated Process.

Discharge in screen printing technique means removing the pigment from fabric through the printing of discharge ink.  Discharge ink is a mixture of water-based-color base and discharge agent.  Once a dischargeable fabric is printed with discharge ink and pass through a heat dryer, discharge agent in the discharge ink will be activated by the heat and either reduce or discharge the color pigment in the fabric.  Therefore the printed area becomes so-called naked (without being covered by color pigment).  The resulting color of the printed area is usually in canvas color, which is the natural color of the fabric before it was dyed into different colors.  The hand feel is very soft since it’s not an additive process.    

  Discharge technique works very well with vintage looking designs because of the natural look and soft hand feel.  It also works better with dark color t-shirts since the dark color t-shirts will set a stronger color contrast with the natural canvas color.  The discharge technique can be applied with water base pigment.  Therefore discharge printing in color can be achieved.  It still gives you all the advantages including vintage look and soft hand feel.  The only drawback is the difficulty in achieving accurate color matching.
