What is Discharge Printing

As there become more and more screen printers around, the ideas and inventions keep broadening. Printing is not the basic one color prints anymore; it has grown to multiple colors as well as new inks and things that you can do with them. Now, instead of always using ink that is thick, there are thinner inks, as well as water based inks. A technique called discharge is one of those water based inks that has become popular amongst consumers.

What is Discharge Printing

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.

Sublimation Printing on Flags

Sublimation Printing on Flags

Have you ever heard of sublimation printing before?  It’s a method of printing that has been adapted to printing on fabric surfaces.  It doesn’t apply layers of colored inks like screen printing would, but instead the entire image is transferred in one motion.  A sublimation printer is used to print out specialized dye onto a sheet of heat resistant paper.  The print out is placed onto the fabric to be printed and both are put into a sublimation press.  The press applies high heat and pressure over a short period of time which causes the dye on the paper to be released as a gas and absorbed by the material below.  If you already knew about this style of printing, did you know that it can be used for other goods besides wearable garments?  Just as an example, sublimation printing on flags as an option you may want explore.
