01
How puff ink works
Puff ink is a specialty screen printing ink with a heat-activated foaming agent. After the design is printed, heat in the dryer activates the agent and the ink expands and lofts into that raised texture.
Apply puff to the entire artwork, or pick specific elements or colors to draw attention to part of the design.

Tonal puff printing
Tonal printing uses shades of ink that subtly contrast with the shirt color. Black puff on a black heavyweight tee is a favorite. Tonal prints work with water-based or plastisol inks and add interest to even the simplest designs.

Loft & creativity
Our puff ink has strong loft and wash durability. Pair puff with traditional plastisol in the same color for a tonal design, or blend it with our high-opacity water-based ink for a remarkable interplay of textures.
