color changing t shirt
technology by PhotoChromic inks
Color changing technology by PhotoChromic inks has been around the custom screen print and advertising industries for over a decade. The reason that this technology is still very popular among advertisers in custom screen print industry is the magical transformation of colors. This series of PhotoChromic colors come in basic colors such as red, blue, yellow, green and purple. When these colors are indoor and not exposed to ultraviolet light, they are almost colorless. However, when they are exposed to ultraviolet light (including sunlight) they will gradually turn into their own colors. The stronger light and longer expose duration, the higher the intensity of the colors. And of course there are limits as everything else, the colors will not increase their intensity after they reach their limits. PhotoChromic inks work the best with white t-shirts. However they also work with light color t-shirts such as natural. You would also want to take advantage of the magical color change by screen printing only a black and white image for the indoor image and leaves all the colors as PhotoChromic colors so they will only appear outdoor. In this way you optimize the color transformation between a black and white image and a full color image. We recommend PhotoChromic’s color changing technology for all outdoor events on t-shirts, sweatshirts and sportshirts. Imagine when your guests witness the magical color change.

color changing t shirt

How many favorite colors do you have? At least three if you are a koi fan. Red, black and white are the three basic yet the most important colors in nishikigoi. The three most popular koi types, Kohaku, Sanke and Showa are perfect examples. Kohaku (red pattern on white ground), Sanke (red & black spot pattern on white ground) and Showa (red and black stripe pattern on white ground or red and white pattern on black ground) together are so called Gosanke. Value in a koi depends on it's body conformation, color completion and pattern. Because of my hobby in koi keeping, I was able to work with some local reputable koi dealers on their custom company t-shirts. Below are some samples of them. All prints were done in silk screen printing. Color separations were either manually done in channels or by Simulated Process. Production were done with M&R automatic 14-color press.

Trendy tikes are keeping up with spring fashion wearing bold brights, prints
But baby clothes today are just as stylish as anything coming out of New York, Paris and Milan.
That's because today's best-dressed babies are wearing pint-sized versions of the trendiest clothes for adults - with a cute little twist, of course, says Heidi Frank, a spokeswoman for Younkers in Milwaukee.
Baby doll tops, Capri pants and dresses are great for little girls, Frank says. "It's falling down from juniors and women's ready to wear to toddlers down to babies," she says. And madras-inspired plaids - popular in menswear and junior boys - has trickled down to the baby boy category as well.
Look for bold brights, like yellows, greens and oranges for girls, Frank says, as well as fashion-forward color combinations like brown and pink and brown and blues. "Those colors really lend themselves well to newborns and babies," she says.

Controversial T-Shirt Business Sparks Worldwide Ire
A provocative new range of T-shirts, created by Sydney-based businessmen Peter Legras and Adam Hunt, have been on sale for just a week but are already being described as "rude and revolting" by critics.
The clothing, available through the Web site Goatboy.com.au, has been met with a different response online however, with the site being featured by a number of international bloggers.
Hunt, a former advertising executive, said the shirts, bearing 14 different designs or logos, retailed for $49 and $59.
The controversial nature of the slogans is addressed in a disclaimer on the site, which reads: "If anyone gets offended by our designs, we'd like to humbly point out that you're wasting your righteous indignation on a bloody T-shirt, when you should save it for something that actually matters."
But Eva Cox from the Women's Electoral Lobby said the T-shirts' content spoke for itself. She said: "They're tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid and if people want to be seen as tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid, they'll wear the shirts.

Big retailers seek teens (and parents)
J.C. Penney, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Kohl's are all adopting approaches — from celebrity-designed fashions to mobile marketing to better fitting rooms — to try to lure young shoppers without turning off their parents.
J.C. Penney, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Kohl's are all adopting approaches — from celebrity-designed fashions to mobile marketing to better fitting rooms — to try to lure young shoppers without turning off their parents.
STORY: Celebrities lend star quality to teen marketing
With consumers cutting back on spending, many retailers have decided the best way to recapture them is to deliver a more cutting-edge experience and trendier clothing to attract their kids. The reasoning: Even as parents tighten their belts, they still spend freely on their children. If kids can get their parents to drive them to stores, the parents will end up shopping for themselves, too.
Middle-class teens, it turns out, represent a fairly recession-proof demographic, with outsize influence on household purchases.

Spruce up your wardrobe — and your life — with the latest spring trends



Texas weather may not be quite in line with spring yet, but there’s no reason your wardrobe shouldn’t be. Stocking up on spring’s hottest trends right now can keep you from spending hours in front of the closet deciding what to wear later.
This year’s spring trends are no surprise, according to Glamour magazine: flowers, flowers and more flowers. From floral-printed flats and purses to giant flowers adorning brightly colored spring dresses, flowers can be found everywhere and are perfect spring clothing additions.
Think a floral dress is a little too much for you? Add a long solid-colored cardigan or sweater to tone the outfit down.
If you just can’t get into the floral spirit, keep bright colors in mind. Spice up a solid-colored simple dress with a wide, brightly colored belt or add flats in a striking bold print to a simple pair of jeans to make a spring statement.

Groups Hand Out Anti-Rape T-Shirts
A sea of students sporting “It Affects Me” T-shirts marks the start of the annual campaign designed to educate the campus community about the effects of sexual violence and encourage students to take action against rape.
Throughout the week, volunteers from Students Stopping Rape, Men Against Rape and student groups from the Rape Prevention Education Program, who started the campaign six years ago, will be in the Arbor passing out 1,000 organic, sweatshop-free T-shirts displaying the slogan, “It Affects Me.” Additionally, various activities will be staged around campus.
Fourth-year women’s studies major Peggy Lee said her personal experiences led her to believe in the motives of the campaign and power of collective action.
“‘It Affects Me’ is a campaign which I believe in as a survivor of sexual assault,” Lee said. “We can stop rape if we all raise our consciousness and work with the movement.”
According to Students Stopping Rape media intern Deborah Svidler, the campaign’s slogan is intended to show how everyone, regardless of sex, is directly or indirectly impacted by sexual violence.
“The shirts are meant to ignite dialogue as a way to educate everyone,” Svidler, a third-year psychology and Spanish major, said. “We usually encourage everyone to wear those shirts as much as they can all week.”

Online shopping on the rise in 2008


Web sales 'bright spot' for retailingNEW YORK --
Online spending is expected to rise a robust 17 percent this year, despite a sluggish economy that has bruised many brick-based retailers, according to an annual survey to be released today.
Retail sales online, excluding travel purchases, are set to grow to $204 billion in 2008 from $174.5 billion last year, fueled by sales of apparel, computers and autos, according to a survey conducted by Internet analysis firm Forrester Research for Shop.org, the online arm of the National Retail Federation trade group. That projection is below the 21 percent increase seen in the prior year, but officials attribute it to the maturing of the business, not the sluggish economy.
