You read that right. The Rogue Lab crew is stepping into the ring for the Canada’s Best Screen Printed competition at the Imprint Canada Show on January 12 and 13, hosted by RB Digital. This is one of the biggest stages in the Canadian decorated apparel industry, and we’re showing up to win.

If you’re hitting the show this weekend, make sure you swing by the RB Digital booth and cast your vote for our entry. This design is a monster. It pushed our entire team to new limits and brought out the absolute best in our craft.

Pushing Screen Printing to the Edge

For this project, “good enough” was never an option. We went all in with a mix of advanced techniques and special effects designed to stop people in their tracks. The print combines simulated process, puff ink, metallic ink, and clear ink, layered with precise registration and experimental methods we had never tried before.

It wasn’t just about throwing every trick in the book at the shirt. Every effect had a purpose. From the texture of the puff to the shine of the metallics, every detail works together to make the design hit harder under the lights.

The Goal: Bring Home the Trophy

When we decided to compete, we made one promise. We were pulling out every stop to make something that stood above the rest. This wasn’t just about entering, it was about proving that Rogue Lab belongs at the top of the Canadian screen printing scene.

See It for Yourself

We’ve got a full behind-the-scenes video on the way that will break down every stage of the process, from concept to final cure. You’ll see exactly how we built this print, along with a detailed data sheet so you can study the setup and try these techniques in your own shop.

Until then, check out the close-up photos below and see why we’re coming for that title.
