Most customers don’t realize all the options and specialty prints that can be used in their custom printed t-shirts.  Next time your designing your t-shirts graphics you may want to keep in mind that adding foil or glitter to your artwork might really make it pop.  The foil printing method is a two step process.  The area of the design that the foil will adhere to is printed just like any other screen print except we use a foil adhesive as opposed to a pigmented ink.  The ink is then sent through the dryer to be cured.  The shirt is then placed on the heat press a piece of foil that will cover the whole design is then cut and placed on top.  The foil is heat pressed for 10-20 seconds on the heat press and then allowed to cool for another 20-30 seconds.  Once cool the foil is removed from the shirt leaving it only in the correct areas of the design.  Foil imprints can be a very powerful marketing addition to a clothing line or a way to boost profits with a college or school fundraiser.  Get a custom t-shirt quote right here.
