Domingo Gigante– Las rosas siguen siendo rojas… Las trampas del color.

Este post de hace de cinco años todavía sigue vigente. El otro día alguien hablaba del “teal “, un color que puede ser desde azul brillante a un color mas azul verdoso. Esto es lo que pasa con el color, puede ser una trampa si no tienes cuidado.Hoy recordamos las maravillas del Sistema de Comparación…

Web Wednesday – The Ink Kitchen Meets Kitchen Ink

Down on Frenchman Street in New Orleans on a Tuesday night which was turning into Wednesday morning I met Rosin, selling her “Kitchen Ink” wares at a table. She literally screens on the floor in her kitchen, air dries her ink, and has a total DIY operation going. A few photos of her designs and…

Boost Your Skills With Silicones

Like it or not, the ability to print with silicone ink is going to have to find its place in your tool box. The pros are: it’s super stretchy zero dye migration on polyesters it’s cheaper than an insurance policy when you need to print on a $150 stretchy polyester jacket. The cons are: short pot…

Domingo Gigante– Tintas Fotocromáticas

No he trabajado mucho con tintas fotocromáticas. Dicho esto debería usarlas más a menudo. Esta tecnología lleva en el mercado bastantes años y el efecto que consigue es muy cool, y a la última moda.

Love of Work: Philosophizing on the Shop Floor

T-shirt Illustration – This illustrates How to Illustrate for T-shirts

Mike T is not just a great artist, he has done some of the most exemplary illustrations for t-shirts that I have ever seen. This print of Biggie is also one of our best screenprints, but it all started with great artwork. The piece is so good that a marketing company put this in Digital…

Innovators Gonna Innovate (With Highly Confidential Proprietary Process Photos)

This progressive print is one of our “Award-Winning” prints, named first in an April contest. Motion Textile and Mirror Image combined skills to create this Uber print, a real metaphysical marvel, a post-modern achievement. The radius of the Circular Pattern was particularly of note to the judges, as was the prodigious Quality and Quantity of…

Me encanta cuando se nos presenta un proyecto divertido y desafiante.Nunca antes habíamos impreso sobre colchonetas de yoga pero uno de nuestros clientes favoritos nos lo solicitó así que a ello nos pusimos. Para que lo sepáis, esta es la primera impresión que hacemos a mano en casi diez años. ¡Namaste!

#TBT- Lenticular Screen Print

In August of ’96, I was waiting at a bus stop in the old downtown section of Prague. Across the street there was an unusual billboard. It was made up of vertical slats with different images printed on each side of the slat. The images were divided in such a way that you could only…
