Discharge Printing
Discharge in screen printing technique means removing the pigment from fabric through the printing of discharge ink. Discharge ink is a mixture of water-based-color base and discharge agent. Once a dischargeable fabric is printed with discharge ink and pass through a heat dryer, discharge agent in the discharge ink will be activated by the heat and either reduce or discharge the color pigment in the fabric. Therefore the printed area becomes so-called naked (without being covered by color pigment). The resulting color of the printed area is usually in canvas color, which is the natural color of the fabric before it was dyed into different colors. The hand feel is very soft since it’s not an additive process.
