Soft Inks
An alternative to traditional plastisol inks that will not cover up the soft, natural feel of your garment.
Soft Vintage
A low impact, soft-feel option use to create a "vintage" style print
Soft Vintage Inks are most commonly used to achieve a "vintage" style print without having to alter your image with filters. This process allows a percentage of your apparel color to show through the inks, creating that perfect worn out look.
- Soft-to-the-hand feel with varied results
- Available on all garment blends and colors
- Recommended when printing over seams and off garment
- PMS color matching *not* available
Soft Vibrant
Print bright colors on light or dark garments without losing the soft, natural feel of the fabric.
This process allows you to print bright colors on light or dark garments without sacrificing style or comfort. Jakprints utilizes a range of water base inks, pigments & discharge agents that actually stain the garment, instead of sitting on top of the fabric. The result is a print that is almost as soft as the garment itself! 100% Cotton garments are required for this ink type, as a chemical reaction is used to remove the dye from the shirt where traditional inks would normally print a white under-basing. Due to the nature of this process, some variation in the color of your final print should be expected by you or your client.
- Soft-to-the-hand feel with vibrant results
- Competitive option to water-based inks
- High-end & fashion forward
- More ecological than standard Inks
- Great when printing over seams and off garment
- Washing is recommended before wearing
- PMS color matching available
Natural Discharge
Softest Ink Option for Black & Dark Garments.
This printing special effect is simplistic, yet highly artistic. By printing discharge agents on to 100% cotton garments and adding heat, a chemical reaction is used to create an off-white or bleached-out natural color. The result is a graphic area that is entirely void of any ink left on the garment. Due to the nature of this process, some variation in the color of your final print should be expected by you or your client. Some colors react to this process better than others.
Please contact your representative if you have any questions regarding the garment color of your choice prior to placing your order. If a specific shade of off-white is required for your project, please choose Soft Vibrant and we will match the color of your print file to the closest available ink.
Eco Inks
Go Green! Print with the lowest environmental impact and get soft, natural results.
Water-Based Inks
The best choice for the environment.
Water-based inks produce ultra soft prints and are the most eco-friendly inks available. Water-based inks are used by organizations with a desire to maintain a green profile and fashion-oriented companies looking for a soft-to-the-hand feel. With the consistency of water and a translucent base, designing for these inks should be reserved for minimal detail and color printed on an organic fabric. Truly an ink for those looking to print green.
