# Danger Press

> Danger Press is an artwork-first custom screen printing company founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004. We screen print custom shirts, apparel, and posters for artists, bands, brands, agencies, and events — for clients in Atlanta, across the Southeast, and nationwide. We are a group of working artists and designers — we don't bend artwork to fit our process, we bend our process to fit the artwork.

## What makes Danger Press different

- **Artists serving artists** — press operators are practicing artists, illustrators, and designers who treat print fidelity as a shared value.
- **Artwork-first** — the production method is chosen to serve the artwork, rather than asking clients to simplify or change their art.
- **Yūgen** — a proprietary database that tracks the colors, specs, and preferences of every order in real time, so reorders never start from zero.
- **The mannequin preview** — prints are shown on a dressed mannequin before a production run so clients approve exact placement and feel.
- **3D grid analysis** — physical proofing that confirms print placement and size before delivery.

## Ink types

- **Plastisol** — opaque, color-accurate ink that sits on top of the fabric. Best for bold graphics and exact color.
- **Water-based** — ink that soaks into the fabric for a soft, lightweight print with little to no hand.
- **Discharge** — removes a dark garment's dye and replaces it with new pigment for an exceptionally soft, breathable print on 100% cotton.
