Play for the Cure

It's almost August, time for Play for the Cure. We have been busy embroidering and printing items for this great event.

With direct to garment printing, which is like a glorified inkjet printing, the color of the fabric mixes with the ink. It acts more like your home printer. So if you print on pink paper, you get a slightly different look than if you print on white paper. Same thing with garments, so we run test samples to see how it will come out. We also have color charts that we can print on any color fabric to see how the colors will print.

As you can see here, the pink printed pinker on the pink fabric than on the white fabric. We did nothing to the source Photoshop file. It's just how the ink reacts with the background color.
