The Price Is Wrong, Bitch!!

Printing sometimes can be really fun! We were hit up by a few friends to print their shirts for The Price Is Right. (everyone has to go at least once, right??). And, of course who else did they call than Print Renegades! (although our main focus is more about helping artists, start ups, restaurants, non profits and clothing brands, sometimes its fun to do something silly and fun).

The print was actually pretty complicated, a 4 color screen print WITH Foil (and only 10 pieces). Normally our minimum order of 10 pieces is for 1 or 2 color designs, but we made an exception from 25 pcs (3-4 color prints) to 10 pieces for these kids.

Printing with foil inside of a design, where not everything is getting foiled, is difficult because the ink around the part not being foiled has to be a different type of ink than the ink that is being foiled. Now, foil normally sticks to any oil based ink, so the ink around the foil design has to be either 1: Waterbased ink or 2: has to be ink with Foil-Resist additive in it...either of these things will allow the foil to stick ONLY to the oil-based plastisol ink and not to everything else.

And as you can see here, the final result looks pretty amazing!! AND you can see the shirts IN action, getting called up to the stage of the Price IS Right HERE. (pretty snazzy!!)
 

Beyond 5 Tour Merch

Our friends at Beyond 5 are really stepping up their game. Driven by the roots of groups like "One Direction", these guys are just as talented as they inspiring. When they play live, their syncopated stylings are similar to how sports teams play together, being able to act as one unit but still sounding amazing as young kids do these days.

They recently embarked on a tour around Asia, just in time to get back to a sold out show in their hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. We had the chance to print a few hundred shirts of different colors, sizes and decorations. All the garments used were 50/50 blend tees.

Each print was a 2 color print of their logo, some of which were just standard prints and some that were foiled. Soft waterbased inks were required, but the blend tees made it impossible to discharge. Also, since they wanted only a part of their image foiled, and those parts overlapped with each other, we had to print part of the design with a waterbased ink and other parts with oil based; in order to not have the foil stick to the entire image. (since foil sticks only to plastisol ink...).

Live Screen Printing = Hit of the Party!

As screen printers, we have been at MANY live events. And I have yet to be at an event where we AREN'T the hit of the party. Everyone loves the idea of live screen printing, especially when it accents a certain element of a party or event. If its helping to promote a film or music release, if its at an art gallery printing recognizable imagery, or just at a bar/club printing random artwork, people love it. It puts the people in charge of creating a custom piece for themselves, and lets them see the beauty of creating a printed garment in front of their own eyes.

Because screen printing has the ability of being mobile, small and portable, we are able to hit up a wide variety of events to make it even THAT much  better!! Email us with any live screen printing requests that you may have!
