Sunday Cool Stock Inks

Water based ink is the point between here and heaven. Paired with our Super Soft Tees, the nonexistent feel of our Water based ink is magical and sure to be the talk of the town with you and your group. 

Here at Sunday Cool, we inventory 66 different ink colors! These colors were curated based off of customer popularity and diversity. You can view those stock ink colors below.

During the ordering process, you can reference this page to view all of our stocked ink colors. You’ll also be served up a choice of our stock inks when you submit your Art Request Form.

But what if none of the Sunday Cool Stock Inks match my design or logo? Nothing to fear! We can Pantone Match your ink to whatever code you’re needing to a 90% accuracy. 

There are a few requirements to qualify for a Pantone Match on your project:

  • Stick to our Super Soft Signature line of apparel.
  • The garment color you choose must discharge vibrantly, not vintage. If you need help determining which of our inventory items discharge at which rates, check out our blog post entitled Waterbased Print Results.
  • Your order must include 144 units or more. 

Additionally, we charge $25/match! This means if we need to match 2 ink colors to a specific code, it’ll be a $50 charge.

But how do I know which code to send you? Great question! Your organization might have a branding guide including all relevant codes and colors that set your group apart. OR you could send in your logo and ask us! Our talented Art Staff can color match the logo and tell you the code! We work often in the Pantone and HEX libraries!

As always, if you have any questions regarding our inks & matching guides, please reach out to a Sunday Cool Concierge member using the dot icon in the corner of your screen.

Shipping & Transit Times

We here at Sunday Cool pride ourselves on a remarkable buying experience and product. This dedication extends into our shipping process. Our Project Advisor and Sunday Cool Concierge teams focus on shipping transit times in tandem with your must-have date to make the experience as seamless as possible.

Sunday Cool primarily uses FedEx as a carrier service. However, we also can ship UPS should you prefer. Just ask your Project Advisor or one of our Sunday Cool Concierge members to help facilitate the switch from FedEx to UPS on your order!

Transit Time

We check the zip address for each order to ensure we are budgeting enough time for you to receive your shirts. Below, you’ll find a rough layout of transit times departing from Sunday Cool HQ in sunny Tavares, FL. Note that your zip code gives the MOST accurate timeframe:

Express Shipping

We are known for our remarkably fast service. We offer a 72-hour turnaround after art approval & sizes in, and then we ship! Consider also that we can extend express shipping should you need your shirts by a specific date your ground transit time does not allow. Below are some options we regularly use!

  • Express (3 days)
  • 2 Day Air
  • Next Day Air
  • Priority Overnight (delivered by noon, only available to some zips)

Each of those express services exists at different prices. Be sure to ask one of our Sunday Cool Concierge members for a quote on shipping! You’ll need to know how many garments you plan to order for the box count. 

Residential Shipping

One of our Sales members may advise you to opt for residential shipping on your order. This is due to the priority Fedex puts on residential shipping. For one, FedEx drivers, in most cases, will not deliver to a business Friday-Sunday, EVEN IF YOU’RE THERE. Residential shipping allows drivers to deliver from Tuesday-Sunday. This means if you’re in a pinch to make a weekend event, you’ll likely want to opt for residential shipping!

All we need from you is a home address, and you’re set!

Holidays

One of the major opportunities for changes in transit time is holidays. Below are the dates that FedEx halts operation:

  • Easter Sunday
  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Day Before Veteran’s Day
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • New Year’s Day

No need to remember that! We account for these dates in our system when you place an order with us. 

A Guide to Understanding Waterbased Print Results

When it comes to printing on our Super-Soft T-shirts, understanding ink discharges is key to achieving the perfect print. In this guide, we'll explore the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges and how they can impact your designs.

Vibrant Prints:

Vibrant Prints are characterized by bright and bold colors that truly pop on the shirt. All ink colors printed on shirt colors labeled "Vibrant" produce a vivid and eye-catching print. These prints are perfect for designs that require bold and dynamic colors to stand out.

Vibrant Print Colors not shown: Heather Denim

Not as Vibrant Prints (Vintage):

Not as Vibrant Prints, also known as Vintage prints, offer a faded and muted look. Bright ink colors or any ink color lighter than the apparel colors labeled Vintage result in a less vibrant appearance. For example, yellow ink may appear green on certain shirt colors. Despite the muted tones, Vintage prints can add a unique and nostalgic touch to your designs.

Vintage Print Colors not shown: Heather Graphite, Heather Burgundy

Achieving the Vintage Look & Feel:

To achieve the Vintage Look & Feel, we offer two options. Firstly, printing your design using a single-color ink such as white can create a vintage or "my-favorite-tee" aesthetic. Alternatively, using a darker colored ink like navy or black on apparel colors that do not print bright and bold can also achieve this look. These options provide flexibility in achieving the desired appearance for your designs.

Understanding the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges is essential for achieving the desired print results on our super-soft T-shirts. Whether you opt for bold and dynamic colors or prefer a nostalgic vintage look, our printing options offer versatility to bring your designs to life!

Building your brand has never been easier.

In this short video, Cool Carll lets you know exactly how to get started building your brand with t-shirts, hats, stickers, and so much more. It’s really as simple as 1,2,3:

As our good buddy, Carll has reminded us, building a brand with t-shirts is a powerful way to create a sense of community and leave a lasting impression on your audience. In this post, we'll explore the power of screen printing, the benefits of custom youth group t-shirts, church t-shirts, and ministry events apparel, as well as introduce you to more ways Sunday Cool can elevate your brand through custom apparel and promotional products.

The Power of Screen Printing­­­­­­

Screen printing is a popular method of printing designs on t-shirts and other apparel, using a mesh stencil to apply ink directly onto the fabric. This technique allows for vibrant, long-lasting prints that can withstand multiple washes without fading. By utilizing screen printing, you can create custom garments that showcase your brand, share your mission, and make a lasting impression. In addition, by using high-quality inks, such as super-soft water-based ink, your garments will have a soft, comfortable feel with our Classic Super-Soft Tee—perfect for everyday wear.

Four Benefits of Screen-Printed Apparel

There are numerous benefits to using screen printing for your brand's apparel:

  • Durability: Screen-printed designs are long-lasting and can withstand multiple washes without fading or cracking.
  • Versatility: This method allows you to print on a variety of materials, including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and more.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Screen printing is an affordable option, especially when producing large quantities of garments.
  • Customization: With the ability to choose from a wide range of ink colors and styles, you can create unique designs that truly represent your brand.

Youth Group T-shirts: Building Community and Identity

One very popular use for screen-printed apparel is creating custom youth group t-shirts. These garments can serve as a powerful way to build community and promote a sense of belonging among youth group members.

The Power of Custom Youth Group T-shirts

Custom youth group t-shirts can serve as a form of identity, helping members feel connected to their church or organization. In addition, these garments provide a tangible reminder of shared experiences, such as retreats, mission trips, or other ministry events.

Four Design Considerations for Youth Group T-shirts

When designing youth group t-shirts, consider the following elements:

  • Logo: Incorporate your church or organization's logo to create a sense of unity and brand recognition.
  • Theme: Choose a theme that reflects the purpose or mission of your youth group, such as a scripture verse or a meaningful symbol.
  • Colors: Select colors that represent your group's identity and complement your logo or theme.
  • Variety: Offer a range of sizes and styles, so members can choose the garment that suits their individual preferences.

Church T-shirts: Spreading the Word with Style

Custom church t-shirts are a fantastic way to promote your ministry and share your message with the world. In addition, these garments can serve as conversation starters, providing opportunities for members to engage with others and share their faith.

Four Tips for Designing Church T-Shirts (and other promotional products!)

When creating custom church t-shirts, consider the following tips:

  • Focus on the mission: Choose a design that effectively communicates your church's mission or core values.
  • Keep it simple: Avoid overly complex designs that may be difficult to read or understand.
  • Incorporate your branding: Use your church's logo and colors to create a cohesive, recognizable brand identity.
  • Choose high-quality garments: Ensure your t-shirts are comfortable and durable, so members will be proud to wear them.

Ministry Events: Making a Lasting Impression

Custom apparel for ministry events, such as VBSSummer Camps, Mission Trips, and Retreats can create a memorable experience for participants. In addition, these garments can serve as souvenirs, reminding individuals of their shared experiences and encouraging continued involvement in your organization.

Design Ideas for Ministry Event T-shirts

When designing t-shirts for ministry events, consider the following ideas:

  • Event-specific designs: Create a unique design that reflects the theme or purpose of your event.

The Sunday Cool Screen Printing Process: Start to Finish

Creating memorable and stylish t-shirts for ministries and organizations is an art form at Sunday Cool. Our passion for custom screen printing and commitment to quality ensures that your t-shirts look remarkable while also being exceptionally comfortable and long-lasting. In this article, we will walk you through the entire Sunday Cool screen printing process, from initial conversation to delivery, and show you how we bring your custom artwork to life on super soft t-shirts.

Step 1: Conversation with your Project Advisor

Your journey begins with a conversation with one of our helpful and personable Project Advisors, who help you make your t-shirt dreams a reality. Whether you're ordering custom screen printed t-shirts for a youth group event, church gathering, or any other occasion, our Project Advisors are here to guide you through the process and ensure your every need is met.

Getting to Know Your Requirements

During your conversation, our Project Advisors will gather all the necessary information about your order, including:

  • Your desired quantity of T-shirts
  • Your delivery date deadline
  • Your total budget for the project
  • Your design ideas

Understanding these essential details lets us provide you with the best options and recommendations for your custom screen-printed apparel. 

Step 2: Creating Custom Artwork

The essence of a great t-shirt lies in its artwork - a custom service we give paramount importance to. Our team of talented artists at Sunday Cool is equipped to turn any form of an idea--from a napkin sketch idea to a fully branded design--into stunning custom artwork for your organization's custom t-shirts and apparel. 

From Idea to Art

No matter the starting point, our artists will work with you to create a design that perfectly captures your vision for your t-shirts. Whether it's a dancing sloth drawn by a youth group student or a more polished design your team has created, we'll ensure it looks incredible on your custom screen-printed apparel.

Step 3: The Production Process

PrePress: Preparing Screens for Production

Once we've gathered the sizes and art details, we prepare your order for production through staging. This involves creating stencils of your artwork using a specialized screen burning machine - one screen for each color in your design. The prepared screens are then ready for the production stage.

The screen burning process involves using UV light to transfer your design onto a screen coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. This creates a stencil of your artwork, allowing ink to pass through the screen and onto the t-shirts during the screen printing process.

Final Production: Let’s make some shirts!

The production process combines our super soft water-based ink (or any other innovative ink you choose), our world-class screen printers, and brand-new screens to imprint your design onto the t-shirt's fabric. This is where the magic happens and your custom artwork comes to life on your t-shirts.

Screen Printing and Inking

Our highly skilled screen printers carefully apply the ink to each t-shirt using the prepared screens, ensuring your design is perfectly aligned and consistent across all the shirts in your order. The squeegee-dyed shirts then make their way through a dryer, achieving the perfect finish and ensuring the long-lasting vibrancy of the design.​

Step 4: Quality Control and Shipping

Quality is our priority at Sunday Cool. Post-production, each shirt is double-checked for excellence, ensuring they match the remarkable standards we've set. Shirts that don't meet our high-quality standards are reprinted to guarantee you receive only the best possible product.

Packing and Delivery

Once our quality checks are complete, your shirts are neatly packed and shipped to your doorstep. With a turnaround time of as little as 72 hours after you approve your artwork, you can rest assured that your custom screen-printed group t-shirts will arrive promptly and ready for your group's event. 

Begin Your Custom T-Shirt Journey with Sunday Cool

We're dedicated to making the process of ordering custom screen-printed t-shirts as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Our commitment to quality, remarkable customer service, and super-soft, comfortable t-shirts make us the go-to choice for churches and organizations nationwide.

Water-Based vs. Plastisol Ink

Understanding Plastisol Ink

Now, what exactly is Plastisol ink? Well, it's a screen printing ink composed of two main ingredients: PVC resin and plasticizer. 

When printed on a shirt, Plastisol ink sits on top of the fabric. While Plastisol is widely used due to its vibrant colors and ease of application, it does have some drawbacks. 

Over time, it can fade, crack, or even peel, which can be quite disappointing when you're looking for long-lasting quality.

The Magic of Water-Based Ink

But fear not, my friend, because Water-Based Ink is here to save the day! 

Unlike Plastisol ink, Water-Based Ink works in a completely different way. Rather than sitting on top of the fabric, it seeps into the garment and dyes it from within. 

This unique characteristic allows the ink to become one with the shirt, resulting in a design that feels incredibly soft to the touch. 

But that's not all – the magic of Water-Based Ink extends beyond its superior comfort!

You see, because Water-Based Ink permeates the fabric, it forms a bond that lasts longer compared to Plastisol ink. 

This means your favorite designs won't crack or peel away, even after numerous washes. So, if you're looking for a printing technique that guarantees longevity and maintains the integrity of your design, Water-Based Ink is the way to go!

Experience the Sunday Cool Difference: Longevity and Durability

At Sunday Cool, we specialize in printing with Water-Based Ink for a reason. We're passionate about providing our customers with shirts that not only look great but also feel amazing. Our Water-Based Ink creates a no-feel design that is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special event or simply a way to express yourself through your clothing.

But don't just take our word for it – see it, or rather, feel it for yourself! We offer a wide range of designs and styles that will make you fall in love with Water-Based Ink. Say goodbye to stiff, uncomfortable shirts and hello to a new level of comfort and durability.

So, when it comes to choosing between Plastisol and Water-Based Ink, the latter reigns supreme here at Sunday Cool. With its ability to seamlessly blend with the fabric, resulting in softness and long-lasting quality, Water-Based Ink is the ultimate choice for those seeking a superior printing technique. 

Join the Sunday Cool Fam and experience the difference for yourself! Order your shirts with Water-Based Ink today and feel the Sunday Cool difference!
