Special Effects

Fluorescent

! While exact ink colors are always difficult to simulate accurately on a computer screen, fluorescent colors are impossible to replicate on a computer monitor. These are meant as an approximation of the actual color.

 

Glow in the Dark

 

Suede Inks

! Suede ink additive can be added to almost any of our standard plastisol inks!

 

Photochromic (color-changing inks)

! Colors appear transparent until exposed to sunlight. That’s cray-cray, yo.

No color selected.

Discharge

These are our standard discharge inks.  We can mix any color for a one-time $25 charge.  Please read below to understand discharge’s limitations and advantages.

 

What is discharge ink, you ask?

Discharge printing uses a chemical process to remove the dye in the fibers of a shirt and replaces it with a new color or leaves the natural cotton color when no color is added. It allows for a clean, soft and breathable print on your apparel. If you are concerned about the plastic-feeling, make-your-back-sweaty-in-the-summertime, raised ink that screen printed shirts sometimes have, then discharge is for you! It’s some sexy stuff.

Here’s some important stuff you’ll probably want to know

No color selected.

Waterbase

These are our standard waterbase inks.  We can mix any color for a one-time $15 charge.  Say!

Waterbase inks are much softer and lighter than plastisol inks.  Plus, they breathe once washed (unlike plastisol), making them especially well-suited for large, solid prints.

 

Waterbase Shimmers

* Soy inks are also available!

No color selected.

Direct-to-Garment

Direct-to-Garment printing (AKA DTG or Digital) uses 4-color process printing to create all its colors, the same way an inkjet printer does. Printing this way has distinct advantages, but a couple disadvantages too. For a detailed comparison of Screen Printing and Digital/DTG Printing, check out our FAQ on it.

Our showroom is open once again!Don't think that Our showroom is open once again!Don't think that we're being unsafe, though! We've set up Plexiglas (yeah, only one 's', weird), and require anyone coming in to be wearing a mask. It shouldn't have to be said, but the mask must cover your nose, silly.If you'd prefer, we're still handling the majority of customer service over email and phone-- and if you're picking up, just give us a call and we'll bring your order out.Keep up the good work, AZ!

  • well we did it!!!  Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Your patience and expertise are extremely appreciated.

    Just want you to know that although I’m very particular, you were up to the challenge and you NAILED it!  I thank God I found you!

  • I was looking for a print shop to work with in starting a new business. ACME stood out initially from their informative and fun web-site. I felt comfortable with my first meeting with them and was extremely pleased with their printing and with their customer service. Lisa was very helpful throughout the process, keeping me informed and immediately working with me when something didn’t quite look right. Thanks!

  • The shirts are awesome! We are headed out today to campaign at a breast cancer walk with 2500 people – so your shirts will be all over New Hampshire. Thanks … more later re: a second order.
