We run water-based and plastisol to match fabric, art, and end use. Specialty is selective and only when it survives real wear. No DTG, no DTF, no embroidery.
Method choice affects feel, durability, and color accuracy. We pick based on garment and art density, then tune mesh, flash, and cure to preserve detail while keeping hand feel reasonable.

Softer hand and breathable prints when opacity requirements allow. Ideal on lighter garments and designs that don’t require heavy underbases. Cure and hydration are controlled to prevent fade.
Chosen for opacity, saturation, and consistency across runs. Best for dark garments, bold color, and when the print needs to pop. We balance mesh/flash to reduce hand feel while keeping coverage.
Only when production-stable and durable: select puff accents and select metallics. We avoid foils/novelties that fail after minimal wear.
