Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in screen-pressing images that enable me to get that worn, faded look.

Any idea what companies offer this type of printing capability?

For an example, see the link below. I tried to copy an image, but no dice...

Thanks again,

a lot of times you can achieve the worn look for your design with the Artwork.

Yep...there is a plugin called Washing Machine I think that can achieve that look.

Most screen printing companies can acheive that look if you add a "vintage" look to your artwork file. Have you asked around locally?

I usually create distress marks myself using a variety of photos and textures I find the on the internet, usually works pretty good.

the look can also go even further with the ink slections and modifications. reducing the inks and printing on higher mesh frames will lay a less amount of in k on the shirt allowing the shirt to somewhat show through the print. Simulating a million times washed shirt.
