While the creative duo has focused on printing t-shirts so far, they will soon expand their product line. “In addition to garments our coffee dye prints exceptionally well on paper. We are in the process of adding more pieces to our stationary line that rely on coffee dye”, says White. Conversely, Mohr and White will also try plant-based dyes that worked well on paper on garments. “Red wine, India Pale Ale, mixed greens, carrots, and beets are our favorites so far”, says White.
With the popularity of the t-shirts came many requests from other screen printers to buy the coffee ink but Mohr and White are not selling it at the moment. “Along with creating the dye there is a very specific technique, order of operations, and curing process that are necessary for it to turn out properly,” they explain. “We would hate to sell a bunch of ink and have folks be disappointed with their results, and the idea of coaching numbers of customers through the process seems daunting.”
