Add real dimension to your design with puff ink.

Puff ink is a screen printing ink additive that once heat is applied to the ink, it slightly raises from the t-shirt like a freshly baked loaf of bread. When designing a shirt you have more options than just art and color – you can also add depth to that list. Puff ink creates a whole new dimension to a t-shirt and is a great way to add some depth and texture to your design.
