Discharge is a process where the garment dye is bleached out and replaced with colored ink of our choice. It provides a soft to the touch prints that are embedded into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it like plastisol.
Discharge inks can be used to create smooth underbases for complex process and simulated process images or it can be used standalone for simpler designs.
