Bleaching Ink

Post by pinkduckink »

Does anyone know a technique or an ink that you can use to bleach out the shirt instead of putting a colored ink on it to make the design. If so what would the name be or the process and where do you get it??

Thanks,

Pink Duck

This may help you out or something similar. It's called discharge ink. It usually requires some special emulsions, and isn't very pleasant to breathe, but it does the job. Although I think you need to look for specific shirt brands in order to get the best result.
