Are your t-shirt designs starting to fall a little flat? Do you want your graphics to really pop? It may be time to give 3D puff ink screen printing a try! At Print Renegades, we've become experts in this unique printing technique that can help take your merch to the next level.
So, what exactly is puff ink? While many make the mistake of asking if we do "puff printing", it's really just a type of ink that, when printed, puffs up off the shirt, creating a three-dimensional effect. This effect can be subtle or bold, depending on how much puff ink is used and the design itself. Puff ink is a great way to add texture and depth to your designs, and it's especially popular for sports team logos, company branding, and other bold graphics.
The process of screen printing with puff ink is similar to traditional screen printing, but with a few key differences. First, a special puff ink is used, which is thicker and has a higher viscosity than standard ink. This allows it to hold its shape and puff up when it's heated.
Once the design has been created and separated into individual colors, each color is printed onto the shirt using a screen printing press. After each color has been printed, the shirt is placed in a dryer, where it's heated to activate the puff ink. As the ink heats up, it expands and puffs up off the shirt, creating the 3D effect.
One of the benefits of puff ink screen printing is that it works on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. This makes it a versatile option for a range of projects.
At Print Renegades, we're dedicated to using the highest quality materials and techniques to bring your designs to life.

But why stop at just t-shirts? Puff ink screen printing can be used to add texture and dimension to a variety of products, from hats and jackets to tote bags and backpacks. Imagine a school mascot design that really pops off a backpack, or a company logo that adds texture to a hat. The possibilities are endless!
Another great thing about puff ink screen printing is that it's a durable option. As long as the garment is properly cared for, the ink will hold up well through repeated washings and wear, so you or your customers can enjoy your custom printed items for years to come.
