Discharge Printing

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I did these all over prints with discharge ink last week. The design is a little crazy but you can't feel a thing. This stuff is so toxic that I couldn't feel a thing for a while either. I'm hoping Threadless does some more cool print techniques soon, there are so many possibilities with additives and processes now, I'm excited to see what they will come up with.

thats a terrible word. yuck.
discharge.

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 10:59pm

it is awful but that's what it does

sonmi on Apr 24 '07 at 11:00pm

those are awesome prints!!! are they for anything in particular, or just a stand alone design?

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:01pm

they were for a client, it's supposed to look like a loon

exoticrobotic on Apr 24 '07 at 11:05pm

thats awesome
did you use a belt printer? or how is that done?

iPear on Apr 24 '07 at 11:05pm

I think it's not bad, personally I really like discharge printing but I'm as artful as a wrinkly white T-shirt.

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:06pm

i wish i had a belt printer, i actually clamped a 38" x 46" screen to a table top and used a HUGE squeegee for a couple of passes

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:07pm

I have a funny story about a loon

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:07pm

that's AMAZING!!!
You're from Minneapolis?! me too! I 2 blocks from Lake Calhoun

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:08pm

I work in NE Minneapolis but live in the burbs...

Thanks for the compliments, it was a nightmare of a job so I'm glad people dig it!

iPear on Apr 24 '07 at 11:09pm

Jpiatt is going to

ra...

deliver you flowers.

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:10pm

Oh sweet, I used to live in NE.
That's really rad. Looks like it took forever. Is that something you could do lots of? Or is it too hard to do in mass quanities?

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:12pm

it did take forever and i only did 60. if i needed to do lots more than that i'd use a belt printer.

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:17pm

I'm a sales rep for a company that represents manufactuers of gifts. If you were able to do a lot of those, those would sell like hot cakes in Northern Minnesota and in Up North/Outdoorsy/Resort Gift Shops.

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:18pm

We sell loon stuff like CRAZY. People are always looking for more new Loon stuff

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:18pm

Loons are kickass

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:19pm

I LOVE Loons :)

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:19pm

i know what you're saying but this particular job was for a client for a one time event. i doubt they'd be down for selling the image to breezy point.

jpiatt on Apr 24 '07 at 11:27pm

damn...ok.
So the client owns the design?
That's too bad, I could see these being a big hit in Walker, Breezy Point, Brainerd, Nisswa, all over up north. And if you could do other designs like this that had a Minnesota flavor to them, I could see yourself having a kick ass line that I could wholesale for you :D

haha, just a thought
email me at jeremypiatt@jeremypiatt.com if you would be interested in talking, I'm always looking for more lines like this.
I'm on AIM at mrjpiatt too.

exoticrobotic on Apr 24 '07 at 11:31pm

i've been looking for a printer in the midwest. let me know if you can do posters, and perhaps some more of those all over prints (limited edition run of course)

shoot me an email as well:
levi@exoticrobotic.com

danrule on Apr 24 '07 at 11:33pm

great work

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:33pm

I'm looking for a hitting coach for my tee-ball team that I manage. If you're interested and like working with kids it's a great opportunity to connect with the youth.

send me an email
srmcnamara@comcast.net

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:38pm

not sure about the tee ball, sorry steve. i can do posters and tees and just about anything else though, i'll email you info in the AM levi.

The Crackers on Apr 24 '07 at 11:40pm

hi 5!

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:43pm

look at these children crying.

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:46pm

maybe he can help, he looks like a pro.

The Crackers on Apr 24 '07 at 11:48pm

hey

thanks

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:48pm

we thought about using him but it just didn't work out.

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:51pm

the kids seem to like this guy

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:52pm

Stevethegreat on Apr 24 '07 at 11:52pm

I'm sorry, gillian. I'll go away now.

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:53pm

crackers, check out koolprint.com

i've never used them but it doesn't look like you have to be a wholesaler/distributor to order

sonmi on Apr 24 '07 at 11:54pm

vlad- you mean digipacks? you can get them at places like discmakers

sonmi on Apr 24 '07 at 11:54pm

gillian, could you e-mail me info about your printing stuff too? julia at sonmisonmi.com

gillianyvonne on Apr 24 '07 at 11:56pm

sure, i'll pull something together in the morning

sonmi on Apr 24 '07 at 11:56pm

thanks!

The Crackers on Apr 24 '07 at 11:59pm

sonmi i was looking more for something as in a cd CASE

yeah gillian seems to be on the right track

even though i don't really know where to start on that site

haha

The Crackers on Apr 25 '07 at 12:00am

wow nvm

i think sonmi got it

The Crackers on Apr 25 '07 at 12:01am

sonmi are those like paper?

because i need those but i need to print something on them

sonmi on Apr 25 '07 at 12:26am

digipacks are like this

which can vary from cardboard to shiny cardstock

i don't think you can print on the cardboard through a place like kinkos. it's something you would screenprint or have professionally printed at a place like discmakers. you could always print on stickers and put them over cardboard; i see that done a lot too.

The Crackers on Apr 25 '07 at 12:32am

that's exactly what i need! thanks so much sonmi

i'll try and do stickers

do they sell digipaks in stores or is it online only?

and where could i find a proffesional printer?

gillianyvonne on Apr 25 '07 at 7:41pm

bump for loons.

iDanSimpson on Apr 25 '08 at 6:41pm

i really wish threadless started doing discharge prints. t'would be awesome.

gillianyvonne on Apr 26 '08 at 3:33pm

wow. this got bumped out of nowhere.

but since it did, here's another discharge print i did a couple of months ago.

gillianyvonne on Apr 26 '08 at 3:37pm

and Dan, Brat Party is a discharge print so they are doing some!

sonmi on Apr 26 '08 at 3:44pm

i forgot i participated in this, but hey! i don't think you ever sent me that e-mail! but that's okay, because i'm not entirely sure what i was asking for in the e-mail.

this looks great.
