Every way to finish a print.
Puff, high-density, discharge, foil, glow, glitter, neon, color-changing inks and more — the specialty finishes and inks that take a design from printed to unforgettable. Not sure which effect fits your art, garment, and budget? Tell us about your project and we’ll steer you right.
Puff Print
A raising agent lifts the ink off the shirt for a soft, 3D, spongy finish — the retail-favorite look that begs to be touched.
Best for: Bold logos, streetwear, and text you want to feel raised.
High-Density Printing
Ink built up in sharp, glossy, raised layers with crisp vertical edges — including clear high-density gloss and raised heat-transfer versions.
Best for: Premium logos, clear gloss accents, and a tactile raised edge.
Water-Based & Discharge Printing
Ink that soaks into the fibers instead of sitting on top — an ultra-soft, almost printless feel. Discharge does it on dark garments.
Best for: Soft-hand retail tees and vintage, broken-in prints.
Sublimation Printing
Dye turned to gas bonds permanently into polyester for edge-to-edge, all-over color that never cracks, peels, or fades.
Best for: All-over prints, jerseys, and photo-real color on polyester.
Process & Halftone Printing
Photo-realistic artwork screen-printed with halftone dots — simulated process on darks and 4-color CMYK on whites.
Best for: Gradients, photographs, and full-color art in screen printing.
Metallic & Foil Printing
Mirror-bright metallic foil bonded to an adhesive print — gold, silver, and holographic shine, as a direct print or a ready-to-press transfer.
Best for: Luxe merch, event tees, and eye-catching metallic accents.
Glow-in-the-Dark Ink
Phosphorescent ink that charges under light and glows green in the dark — a hidden second design that only shows at night.
Best for: Concerts, Halloween, camp, and safety-minded night wear.
Glitter Ink
Real metallic flakes suspended in the ink give a sparkling, textured finish that catches the light from every angle.
Best for: Dance teams, spirit wear, bachelorette, and party merch.
Fluorescent & Neon Ink
Electric neon inks that pop in daylight and glow bright under UV blacklight — the go-to for parties, runs, and club nights.
Best for: Blacklight parties, glow runs, and can’t-miss bright merch.
Color-Changing Inks
Inks that transform with heat (thermochromic) or water (hydrochromic) — a print that reveals a hidden design when it warms up or gets wet.
Best for: Novelty merch, promos, and interactive reveal designs.
Silicone Ink Printing
Stretchy, ultra-soft silicone ink that flexes with the fabric and resists cracking — a premium, tagless-soft finish built for performance wear.
Best for: Performance apparel, tagless labels, and soft premium prints.
Printing on Polyester
Special low-cure inks and blockers stop dye migration so prints stay bright and true on polyester, tri-blends, and performance fabrics.
Best for: Athletic jerseys, moisture-wicking tees, and poly blends.
DTF Printing
Direct-to-Film transfers deliver full-color, photo-detail prints on almost any fabric or color — no minimums and no color limits.
Best for: Full-color art, small runs, and mixed garment types.
