Christian tees can be cheesy or just lame at times, but we are here to challenge the status quo. Here’s an intense print job done for the new Echo tees that will be sold at the conference next week. A normal tee shirt print job generally consist of 3 colors or less. However, for this design by Barton Damer, it required an oversized print as well as 10 spot colors! Exactly what does that mean? In order to get the colors to pop off of the tee shirt the way the original artwork was created, the t-shirt was separated into 10 solid ink colors and printed on a mammoth 12 color machine (below).

If you’ve designed or had a tee shirt printed for your ministry, this will make more sense to you. I hope you enjoyed some insight into the printing of this intense piece. Make sure you grab one at the conference!

There are still spots open for the Echo Conference so don’t forget to sign up before it’s too late!
