Custom Printed Leggings

Lions and tigers and prints… Oh my! Big hair may not be making a comeback from the eighties but leggings most definitely are in style again.

Bring Out the Animal in You

Zebra prints, various feline prints (i.e. tigers and leopards) in various colors other than what you would normally expect to see these animals in are high on the list of printed leggings. The prints can be the only non see through part of the design or can be printed on leggings that have a different solid color and are not transparent. Many animal prints are actually black, colored background; the crazier the color… The more desirable the leggings for women. Of course there are exceptions to everything. Picture if you will a lime green background; we’re going for a leopard affect here with red blotches partially outlined in black. If you ever see a leopard that looks like that coming at you it’s definitely time to sober up. That or pink elephants.

Weird and Wonderful

If neon animal prints aren’t enough for you there’s always the semi transparent graffiti and tattoo look. There are vertical or horizontal stripes, spots, butterflies, flowers, paisley, angels, newspaper print, classic paintings, psychedelic, scattered words in different fonts and patterns that are seemingly unidentifiable. Hearts, red/white/and blue stars and stripes (as well as other country’s flag designs), skeletal bones appropriate to human legs (from tib-fib all the way up to the pelvis and lower spine), snake skin and every 80’s freak’s favorite… Tie die; this is what the fashionable female is wearing in 2011/2012. Warm weather, cold weather, rain or shine; it’s the eighties all over again.

When it comes to fashion, the only thing that is absolute is the fact that style eventually repeats itself. Let’s hope that does not apply to the colonists and their white powder wigs. So embarrassing.

This is commonly used in garments production because it gives good image clarity and it also has a plastic feel and appearance.

Discharge Inks –This will work by affecting the existing dyes in a garment. This will usually lighten them.

Flocking – this is a process that a glue is applied to create the image, then a foil is applied to create a shiny appearance to the design.

Water-based Ink – This kind of ink offers more penetration of fabric than plastisol-based processes and is employed when a softer is sought.
