Printing Methods Used


skull! How do you Print?

Primarily, most products here are made using Plot Printing. What is plot printing you ask? Well, plot printing is an extremely durable and fade-resistant t-shirt print. A vector graphic serves as the master copy, which can have up to three colors. We offer a wide range of colors which are defined by the color of the print foil. There are two types of plot prints: flex and flock.

skull! Flex Printing

Flex: Flex is a smooth, thin, somewhat rubbery layer on the fabric. We have a wide range of colors to choose from. Check out this chart with our full color range for flex and flock.

Specialty Flex: This special kind of flex foil glitters and sparkles in the light with small, reflective metal particles mixed into the color. The colors include:

  • skull! glitter with smaller glittery particles and sparkle with rougher, larger particles
  • skull! glow in the dark and silver reflective

skull! Flock Printing

Flock: Flock is a fleecy, soft layer on the fabric. It has a velvety feel, like a thin layer of plush fabric. Flock also has a slightly different color palette than flex.

skull! Digital Printing: Digital Direct and Digital Transfer

If the design has more than three colors or color gradients (i.e. a photograph or more fancy piece of art ;) ), the garment will be produced using digital printing. Please note: digital printing is not as long-lasting as plot printing. Pixel graphics serve as the master copy. Here are the two digital printing methods.

skull! Digital Direct:

This is the most common method t-shirts are printed on, next to silk-screen. Your design is printed directly onto the fabric. Every color is rendered, even white. Dark shirts can also be printed with Digital Direct, as they are first primed with a layer of white before printing. This essentially means upmost quality.

skull! Digital Transfer:

Here your design is printed onto a foil, which is then pressed under high temperature onto the shirt. With Digital Transfer, the colors start softening after a few washes and the design fades. White or bright shirts can only be printed on with this printing method.

skull! So What Does This Mean for You?

Well, it means that you're always going to get the best possible quality T-Shirt that's in my power to provide. You're getting a T-Shirt that is custom made to order, just for you (sentimental factor). Most of all you're getting a great value, I don't have to keep inventory and pay buttloads in mass-production costs, and I'm seriously passing this value off to you. Since I don't have to handle the labor of printing, shipping, and customer servicing, I don't care as much about making any money!
