Add Dimension Using Simulated Process

Broken Tee on Tultex Simulated Process When printing a vibrant graphic, such as this "Broken" design which includes different shades and tones, a simulated process is used. This process is a combination of spot colors and halftones to create the image on a darker colored shirt.

This shirt was printed on a black fine knit jersey tee from Tultex with red, white and halftones for the grey.  Sim process lets you add some dimension to the shirt, which gives it an awesome 3D effect!

 

We recently printed these "Broken" shirts for the band at Northland Church, whom performed at the one year anniversary celebration of Celebrate Recovery,  put on by Discovery Counseling. Discovery has teamed up with Northland to provide professional and affordable Christian counseling. They hope to offer direction to different individuals while journeying through the ups and downs of life.
