How To Print Camo The Right Way

Everyone wants to print on camo because let’s be honest, camo is cool as fuck. But I see a lot of issues that come up from people who may be new to it or don’t have a lot of print experience yet. The major issue that always comes up…dye migration.

To keep it short and sweet, dye migration is when the dyes from synthetic fabrics release under too much heat. Unfortunately this starts to happen before most inks hit their cure temperature and then these dyes only have one way to go, up through your nice fresh print. So if you’re using a light color like white, that print is going to be brown and yellow in the end. It could be instant, it could take a few hours, or it could even take a day. One way or another you’re going to be yelling and possibly drop kicking the nearest object in your shop because you just cost yourself a bunch of money.

Thankfully there is a solution to this, low cure ink and dye blockers. Used in the right way, this stuff will help you flip off dye migration for good. I go in depth to show you guys how I print this kind of stuff regularly here in the shop with no issues, and you get to check out a pretty sweet ass graphic we made for ourselves in the process. You can use these methods to print camo and all kinds of other difficult fabrics with confidence. Enjoy!
