VIBRANT PRINTS
Shown: SUNDAY COOL'S LINE OF 50/50 COTTON-POLYESTER BLEND
PRINT CHARACTERISTICS: BRIGHT AND BOLD
Almost all ink colors printed on these shirt colors produce a bright and bold print.
Use these apparel colors to achieve the brightest and boldest print results.
NOT AS VIBRANT PRINTS
Shown: SUNDAY COOL'S LINE OF 50/50 COTTON-POLYESTER BLEND
PRINT CHARACTERISTICS: FADED AND MUTED
Bright ink colors or any ink color lighter than any of the apparel color shown above produce a very faded and muted look.
Certain ink colors, such as yellow, will be affected by the color of the shirt. i.e. Yellow ink on a heather royal blue t-shirt will look green.
It is suggested to use a single color ink for your design if you would like to print on any of these colors shown above. Read about our Vintage Look & Feel below.
VINTAGE LOOK & FEEL
Shown: SUNDAY COOL'S LINE OF 50/50 COTTON-POLYESTER BLEND
PRINT CHARACTERISTICS: VINTAGE & FADED
We've thought of an alternative to printing on apparel that does not discharge bright and bold. These three single-color options are by far some of our client's favorite looks.
The first option is to print your design using a 1 color ink such as white for a vintage slash "my-favorite-tee" look. Click on any of the 3 images above to see an example of this look.
Another great option to printing your design on apparel colors that do not print inks bright and bold is to use a color that is darker than the shirt, like navy or black. Check out some of the examples below for printing your design using a dark colored ink.
Get Inked
Inks have that cool factor you just have to have.
