We just printed 330 of these shirts for a high school in Southern California. It’s a 4 color water base print with gold foil, done about as well as it could be done. Here’s a picture of the entire shirt:

Keep reading below the pictures here. This shirt seems like it was designed by a screen printer. The separations were pretty easy and quick and there are aspects to the design that not only make it print friendly, but also make it look really, really good…
In the shot below check out the detail in the money and the car, which is printed with just white ink. We use Rutland WB99 water based inks and mixing system. Most of our water base prints these days are through a 230 mesh screen which allows enough ink to pass through the screen and penetrate the shirt like it should. Printing through the 230 also allows us to maintain some excellent detail and halftones.
Look at the drop shadow behind the shiny foil print around the word “Millionaires.” It’s a soft blend of white and black that adds serious depth to the foil print and makes it seem like it is standing off of the shirt - it really pops…

We were also impressed at the way “Seniors,” and “10″ stand out of the word “Millionaires.” This Senior class of 2010 was blessed with a creative designer with some great ideas, and now they have an awesome shirt to rock through their last year of high school…
And just below is one more picture for good measure so you can see just how much the foil shines, and how the drop shadow makes it appear to jump off the shirt… We’re loving this one!
