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.

5 Color Simulated Process Print

 

Diamondback Snake T-shirt Spot ProcessReal Thread's latest adventure was printing this Diamondback snake on a black Tultex tee using a 5 color simulated process print with ALL discharge ink. The detail is phenomenal!  As you can see, the colors blended together very well to make secondary colors, allowing subtle shadows and highlights throughout the print.


This design was done with Spot Process software. This graphic has been used by M&R at trade shows all over the country on their Diamondback press, but usually with plastisol ink. We wanted to do it with discharge ink to see how it would print and feel. 

 

The result: the shirt came out extremely soft and looked just as good, if not better than the trade show print with plastisol ink.
