No other process produces such soft, breathable, absorbent, bright prints on dark colored garments. Also, no other process has been as misunderstood and maligned as discharge printing.

What is Discharging?
Discharging is a chemical reaction that destroys the ability of selected dyes to reflect color. This reaction takes place at temperatures above 180 degrees Fahrenheit while water is present.

What Shirts Are Dischargeable?
Only selected dyes used on natural fibers are dischargeable. 100% cotton T shirts will discharge well. We rate black, navy, denim, burgundy and brick as being the most dischargeable and wedgewood, cadet blue, royal, purple and yellowjacket as the poorest. Other colors fall somewhere between.

We rate shirts on a 1-10 scale with ten being the most dischargeable. Colors rated as tens are: black, gold, navy, purple, english rose, primrose and powder blue. Colors rated at 7 and discharging ok are peacock, kelly, wine and true red. Colors rated as poorest dischargeable colors are royal, hunter and ash.
