What is discharge printing you ask? Pull up a chair, sit back, and let me take you on a journey of how discharge prints are created. Discharge printing is when an ink agent gets mixed into the ink, and when applied to the shirt it will remove the dye of the shirt. Almost as if you accidently bleached a dark shirt it will turn lighter where the bleach hit was. Discharge printing lets you do a vintage “bleach out” method or you can add color to the ink. Overall the print is going to have a soft look that will still be vibrant but not as bright as using plastisol ink would have.
