Puff Printing
Puff printing, also known as raised ink printing, is a special technique that gives your designs a soft, dimensional feel that truly stands out. Unlike a standard flat print, this method uses a special additive that creates a unique raised texture. It’s a fresh and modern twist on traditional screen printing that adds a premium, tactile finish to your apparel.
This technique is perfect for creating statement pieces and adding depth to minimalist designs.
A Closer Look at the Puff Printing Process
The puff screen printing process is a form of high-build screen printing that starts much like traditional screen printing. However, a special puff additive is mixed into the ink. When heat is applied during the curing process, this additive causes the ink to expand, creating a soft, raised finish that stands out from the fabric both visually and to the touch. You can apply the raised effect to the entire design or to specific elements to draw attention to them. This makes the technique perfect for a custom puff print.
Advantages of Puff Printing
The screen printing process begins by preparing individual screen printing screens that act as stencils for each colour in your design. We use specialised squeegees to push the ink through the mesh of the screen directly onto the garment. For darker fabrics, an initial white or flash layer of ink is applied to ensure the colours appear true to your design.
This meticulous screen painting process guarantees vivid, accurate results. We offer screen printing on a wide variety of items, including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, polo shirts, and tote bags, providing customised solutions for all your printing requirements.
Our efficient screen printing equipment allows us to cater to both corporate clients and individuals seeking unique, personal designs across the UK, including major cities like London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
What to Consider for Puff Printing
While puff printing is durable, it’s important to give your garments extra care when washing to preserve the print. We recommend washing your items inside out on a cold wash and avoiding a tumble dryer. This technique is not suitable for garments with long fibres, but it works well on most cotton garments, including hoodies and t-shirts.
